Felix 'FLX' Braun recently went to visit Temwa's projects in Malawi, here are his thoughts... "Having recently returned from running a six-day community arts project with Temwa, in Usisya, what remains with me is the sheer depth of the work they do, and the enormously positive impact it has had on the lives of so many people in North East Malawi." Felix Braun (to read more about Felix's trip to Malawi click here)
"You can see where all the money raised goes, directly to support projects in Malawi; it's amazing to be involved with." Duncan Jago
"It's my favourite charity event to support; I love the work they are doing on the ground." Will Barras
