🚢 Little update on our container. The yellow arrow is the ship our precious cargo is on & the red pin is where its headed. We're on track to reach Malawi in time for the end of July when our first group of volunteers travel to carry out essential building work with the help of locals.

They will also unload the container & deliver medical supplies, educational supports etc during their time there. Early starts, late finishes & a lot of hard work in between 💪🏻

Over the coming weeks, we'll be posting some interviews before they leave to give everyone a real feel for the project we've undertaken & life in Malawi.

Stay tuned! Don't forget to like & share to help us reach a wider audience 😊
