If you’d like to help please give a donation at justgiving.com/smilemalawi

An amazing trip once again to Smile Malawi - highlights here in photos. We are very short of funds now so please help us keep the smiles - any amount helps! Justgiving.com/smilemalawi for donations. Please note that all expenses incurred by our trustees during this trip were funded by themselves. Every penny raised through Smile Malawi goes to running the home and education for our children.
