Magdalene Sacranie first visited Malawi as a physiotherapist with VSO in 1969. There she met her future husband, Aziz, and after various moves, they settled in Scotland, where they still live today. But with half of the Sacranie family in Malawi, links with the country have remained strong, and Magdalene has been heavily involved with fundraising for the Children s Fund of Malawi.
