Update from District Conferance
Rotary Club of Birstall Luddites
Andrew spoke of his African life in Malawi.
Andrew found himself with his brother on the streets for 4 years from age 9.
Adopted and educated by an American family.
He decided to create a Charity to help the street children funded in part by his business of selling fruit juices.
His charity pays for the children to go to school and provide them with a meal and a bed if they wish each night. Some of the children are so used to the streets they prefer not to sleep indoors.
The classes have between 100 to 300 in them so Andrews charity pays for 2 teachers to give the children he cares for one to one or small groups tuition after school.
Andrew wishes to create a library for these children between 5 and 11 to help them learn to read.
He is also asking for shoes for this age group as children in Malawi are often barefoot and shoes are compulsory in schools.
Any donation of shoes and books will be collected by President Mary to pass onto Andrew.
