Daughter Lucy lives and works in Malawi and has set up a small specialist tea company, Chikondi Tea, everything is made in Malawi, very fairtrade supporting the locals in many ways. All the good quality tea is exported, so Lucy sells her products to the guest lodges, hotels, airports and gift shops in Malawi.
Chikonda means ‘love’ in Chichewa,  love your cuppa!  Cheers.

Lucy and I are supporting a new small project at the Thylo Estate and the Anglian Communtiy, We have donated money to repair 8 old singer sewing machines that had been donated but were not working.  We also supplied materials and cottons and the plan is to set up a workshop in the Community Hall selling the things they make.  There is a tailor on site to help and train, and Lucy will help to market and buy her pretty tea bags made in bright beautiful tetnnje materials.

We received a warm and beautiful welcome from Wonderously, yes that is his name!  He greeted us on arrival and proudly introduced us  a large group gathered in the open classroom. Mostly 3 – 5 years olds with large brown eyes dressed in an assortment of colourful clothes, together with teachers and many elderly who walk in daily for food at lunchtime, the oldest was 92!.  They happily sang to us, it lifted our hearts and made us feel very humble.  They proudly talked about their project and the work they do and then showed us around the village and their beautiful little white church.  It was a memorial visit and I hope the link continues.
