Two Worlds Meet
Last month Robbie’s mum Lesley, the founder of R World, embarked on an incredible adventure to Malawi to see the incredible work that the Brown Munthali Foundation have been doing in the village of Chitimba.

She was lucky enough to spend time with the lovely community, visit the site of the library that we have been raising funds for and see the progress of the development first hand. Lesley also went to the tree that has been planted in Robbie’s memory […]

Without a decent education, he knows the future is bleak for […]
