In this inspiring episode, Charis and Sarah are joined by the Lott family — Paul, Louisa, Sam, and Barney — as they reflect on their life-changing trip to Malawi. Paul, a teacher at Kings Ely School, shares how the school’s partnership with Hope for Malawi has grown from modest beginnings into a powerful movement that now sponsors students, raises significant funds, and fosters lasting relationships across continents.

The family recounts their emotional visit to Hope School, their connection with the people, and the incredible joy, gratitude, and resilience they encountered. From teaching science lessons and hosting Easter assemblies, to walking long distances to students’ homes and witnessing firsthand the challenges and triumphs of education in Malawi, their stories highlight the deep impact of community, compassion, and shared purpose.

Join us as we explore the real meaning of hope, the power of education, and how simple acts of kindness can change lives—on both sides of the world.
