Episode Synopsis

In this inspiring episode, Sherry and Charis sit down with Rebecca and Sally — two trustees of Hope4Malawi to reflect on their transformative first trip to rural Malawi. With backgrounds in teaching, literacy, and special needs education, they share how they prepared for months to create phonics booklets, English resources, and interactive lessons for classes.From the joy of seeing children engage with learning, to the challenge of adapting on the spot (including an unexpected Macbeth lesson!), Rebecca and Sally take us inside the classrooms where education is opening doors to opportunity. They also discuss the feeding programme, the farming and bicycle projects their husbands supported, and the enormous impact that early English literacy can have on a child’s future in a region where exams and pathways out of poverty depend on it.But alongside the practical work, this episode highlights something deeper: the warmth, gratitude, and joy of the communities they met. Rebecca and Sally reflect on the simplicity and contentment they witnessed, the song that moved them to tears on their final day, and how Malawi reshaped their understanding of what truly matters.Join us for a thoughtful, uplifting conversation about education, hope, and the beauty of shared purpose and discover how two weeks in Malawi left a lifelong imprint on their hearts.🌍 Learn more at hope4malawi.org 🎧 Stay tuned for more stories of generosity, purpose, and people making a difference.Support the show
