African Vision Malawi is a charity supported by Burnham Beeches Rotary that aims to empower the people of Malawi to
become self- sufficient and independent.
Local Rotarian Rainer Struck is planning to cycle from
Hedgerley to Marseille – Approx 1000 miles – to raise funds for the charity.
Rainer retired from The Mall Prep School, as Deputy Headteacher last
year. He has been a loyal supporter to African Vision Malawi for the
past 8 years. The School has had a Partnership link with Chitsime
Primary School in Malawi since 2008 and over the years have raised money
to make many improvements which include building a double classroom
block. Many school children have benefited from the support but there is
still much more needed, including basics such as desks, chairs, books
etc.
Rainer is cycling 1600km from London to Marseilles in May 2017. He has never done anything like this before and it will certainly be a challenge. Please encourage him and raise some money to help children get a deserving education. We know that raising educational standards allows children to follow their dreams of a fruitful future and Rainer supports one of the previous students who is now at University doing nursing. You could also help someone see their full potential and a way out of poverty.
