Today we have a message from John Kang’ombe sent to us for our 15 year celebration.
This message was sent not for The Dalitso trustees, nor our management committee, not for those that have had the opportunity to visit Malawi but to the 100s of people that have supported the work for over a decade and a half.
“You haven’t seen Malawi, you haven’t seen the children but you just trust that what I’m giving, it’ll be going direct to the point of need.”
On behalf of the children of Thyolo and Kambilonjo we thank you!

A choir performance on a last night in Malawi always ends with audience participation! Apologies for the singing coming from behind the camera but it is so hard not to join in!! This song shows clearly the children’s love of music and dance and we are pretty sure it will get your feet tapping also!

When the 2007 team look back on the first trip and our visit to Kambilonjo, the wind blowing through the open daycare windows, the rain and sleet and the shivering children attempting to eat their nsima too cold to move is a picture that lives on in our memories. It was from this that the group of young people really grasped the poverty facing the children of Malawi. The partnership with this community was born from this trip and 15 years on, Charles shares all that has been achieved through the giving of supporters of The Dalitso Project.
Thank you for your support!

SPOTLIGHT ON THE SPONSOR CHILD PROCESS
We often have people asking us how we manage to get through almost 250 sponsor child interviews particularly this year when we were only there for 2 weeks. To be honest we often look back surprised we managed it!! We actually completed each centre in only 2 days this year!
Join us today as we journey through the interview process through the eyes of one of our children.
We have recently added some children to our programme that are looking for a sponsor. Get in touch if you would like more information on this part of the work. You can sponsor a child for only £15/month.
8 sleeps till Christmas!

Something a little slower tonight from our Thyolo choir. All our children love to sing and they were delighted on the last night to perform for us a selection of songs to share with you all back home.
Enjoy!
