A Story Born From Community Love

Don Amolo Memorial Kids Ark(DAMKA) was born out of a desire to give back to the community and to serve God in the children's Ministry. On 24 March 2012, with no funding but with the zeal to touch children's lives, DAMKA was officially launched at the founder's late parents' home in Shikunga.
