Knees up for Malawi!

 


Thank you to everyone who supported the WMP ceilidh in February. Together, we raised over £6,000 which our partners will use to improve the health, education and sporting opportunities of children and young people in Malawi and protect the remaining forests of Mulanje and Zomba Plateau.


A big shout out to all those wonderful people who donated such fabulous auction and tombola items and many congratulations to those of you who managed to snap up a bargain.


Thank you to our music makers - Dave the Malawian drummer and Clappy Doo - who together got everyone onto the floor for lots of dancing.


A huge thank you to our table captains for gathering such a great crowd to make it a hugely enjoyable occasion.


And of course, to the many volunteers who worked so hard to make it the success it truly was. We couldn't have achieved any of this without GWC and the school's wonderful team.

Thank you for your kind message I'm always grateful to hear from you 😊   We are all doing just fine And our school garden has just begun.We have planted some maize as we are in rain season.  Many thanks to GWC for the support 🙏 May God bless you all 🙌 .  We managed to purchase a tank and pump and installation is in process. We hope to make it ready by the end of the rain season.  I have just realized that a fence wire is also needed in order to protect our pipes from being vandalized and our plants from being damaged by cows, goats and chickens.
