I am Judith's eldest daughter. I was born in Malawi but grew up in England, which left me very aware of social disparities and inequalities for people living in different countries but also within the same country. Mum raised me to champion equality and social justice but also to advocate the importance of equity of access to high quality education and healthcare. For mum, being an active member of her community of choice in Devon was important to her but also contributing to her Tanzanian community of origin. I very much respect her generosity and determination to hold a sense of ‘community spirit’ across continents. Mum taught me that the world can be a loving place regardless of where we are from. Mum and Bibi (Swahili for grandmother) were determined to improve the lives of future generations of Buturi. Mum had such passion for the charity, she felt absolute joy being in service to others. She had a beautiful vision for Buturi School, which I hope we will see come to fruition in the near future. Being part of this charity humbles and inspires me. I appreciate having this opportunity to keep connected to my Tanzanian roots, to mum and to Bibi.
