What people are saying

We had a wonderful time in Malawi. The support we had was simply outstanding throughout - our guide became more an integral part of our team rather than just someone who was there to support us or drive us around. Couldn’t have asked for more. Our visits to our schools were amazing. The opportunity to teach classes, observe lessons and to discuss learning and teaching with our colleagues really allowed us to take our partnership to a new level of understanding. Hopefully, in the years ahead, we will continue to impact on young lives in Scotland and Malawi.
