Under the campaign, he teams up with fellow artists and some of his business affiliates and feeds street children every December. This year\u2019s event is slated for December 21.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, the group collects assorted food items and chooses a particular place to eat, drink and celebrate with society\u2019s most vulnerable children.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in an interview on Wednesday, Gwamba said: \u201cThe main objective is to share with the children [of Malawi] and we would like to promote the spirit of sharing among the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Gwamba said other people and organisations can participate in the initiative by donating food, clothes and even attending the event.<\/p>\n<p>After the Feed the Streets Campaign, the attention will be switched to Bingu International Conference Centre (Bicc), where Gwamba will be launching his gospel album, \u201cJesus, That\u2019s My Boss\u201d, on December 24.<\/p>\n<p>Gospel artists such as James Nee, Ethel Kamwendo Banda, Thoko Katimba, Onesimus and Emmq will be on song to support Gwamba.<\/p>\n<p>But Gwamba was mum on reports that the guest artist would be Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, only saying: \u201cCome to the show and see for yourself.
