The Ice Bucket Challenge, sometimes called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on someone’s head to promote awareness of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations to research. It went viral on social media during July–August 2014.
Some individuals have opted to donate their money from the Ice Bucket Challenge to other Organisations. The challenge encourages nominated participants to be filmed having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads and then nominating others to do the same.
A common stipulation is that nominated participants have 24 hours to comply or forfeit by way of a charitable financial donation.
inenso indipeze bucket imeneyi ndikuifuna kwabasi kukutentha amwene
Azungu use ice cold water because they live in cold freezing temperatures. Don’t use ice cold water in Malawi u can think of something else mabulutu inu
the ice bucket challenge comes from a need of publicising ones acts of charity. give in silence so that your left hand should not know what your right hand is doing. not through ice buckets in front of cameras.
For the credibility of my government. I urge you young man not to do it. Let us just give them a little contribution. People will take you as childish
Wasting clean water when others can’t even access a drop of unpurified water! This is an insult to those who thirst for water or walk a distance just for a bucket of untreated water. Think twice before copying stuff from the west. Find other means of raising money please.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a satanic ritual. Saulosi watch out, you can be taken out mwaulere.
That is true… The man who started it all actually died a day or two after the whole thing…. A Malawi copying everything ….
