In this powerful episode, hosts Charis and Sherry are joined by Alunda, one of the trustees of Hope4Malawi—and a proud Malawian. Born and raised in Malawi, Alunda shares her heartfelt story of moving to the UK at 17, the emotional journey of adjusting to a new culture, and how her roots continue to shape her life and purpose.

Together, they explore the contrasts between life in Malawi and the UK, what it means to stay connected to your homeland, and how Alunda’s recent visit to the projects in Malawi reignited her passion for giving back. From the dedication of local teachers to the impact of well-resourced schools in remote areas, this episode is a reminder of the power of listening, humility, and long-term commitment to transformation.
