Children in Malawi are keen footballers, but are short of a very important commodity - footballs. This was discovered by the parents of Russell Beswick, chairman of property developer Park Lane, on a visit there in 2007.
As they were returning this year, Bohemia Road-based Park Lane supplied 25 footballs for them to take and hand out to the budding young footballers.
Russell's mother Diana (pictured) handed out some of the balls to the children of Kachalenge School Senger Bay, Salima.
The school has 600 pupils and 4 teachers.
Diana also handed out 80 pens bought by her great grandson, Kyle (pictured buying the pens)seven, with his own pocket money as he had been told of the shortages in Malawi schools by his teacher.
