They repaired the ceiling, painted the ceilings and walls, replaced labour room mattresses and linen worth $1 261 with more investments in the institution coming as the year progresses.

"In the New Year, the hotel will continue to work with the hospital, attending to other areas and ensuring the comfort of delivering mothers and their babies who are the future of our nation," Chinwada said.

He said their aim was to change lives for the better through building skills and education in hospitality, and to support communities.
