Review for Go! Malawi, Hebron, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I went in summer of 2008 with a friend to help start a medical clinic at the orphanage. What I found was incredible; after an ordeal to get there, we stepped out of our vehicle to find 60 beautiful children circling around us. With the sun setting over the horizon these children smiled, danced and sang these simple words; "we are happy, we are happy, we are happy today". I looked around and saw the faces of fellow volunteers and the founder, who I had never met. The common thread were tears. Raw emotion, love bleeding out, hope in the air. The weeks that followed transformed me from a volunteer to an advocate. With education and some support we give these children a chance at a productive life and the opportunity to step up and help themselves and their community. My wife and I personally sponsor a family of seven; we invite you to join us in supporting Janet, Bill and the entire Little Field Home mission.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

looking in the eyes of these children. The results over the last several years have been astounding. Currently two children are in America at Hebron Academy in Maine; both are honor students. Dozens are now in private education in Malawi and our first college student will start in the fall!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

continue to fund an "on the ground" person full-time to continue the work and monitor the process. This change will be coming in 2011!

Role:  Volunteer & helped with medical clinic; now serve founders any way I can.
