In this uplifting episode, Sherry and Charis are joined by Fiona, mum of Charis — one of Hope4Malawi’s team — to share her unique perspective as both a parent and a supporter of the charity. Fiona reflects on her first journey to Malawi, where she stepped into classrooms to teach phonics, spent time cooking with schools, and experienced first-hand the warmth and resilience of the communities she visited.

She opens up about the deep connections formed through sponsorship, the joy of seeing children thrive with opportunity, and the life-changing lessons she brought home — from witnessing gratitude in the midst of scarcity to finding faith and hope renewed in unexpected ways.

It’s an inspiring conversation about family, service, and the heart of giving — reminding us that even simple acts of kindness can build bridges across cultures and generations.
