People in America sent money back home to help feed hungry families in Malawi. These donations added up to 19,950,000 Kwacha through a program called Mavyete Malawi Food Relief. JB started this program without any political goals. He shared the news Tuesday on Facebook, listing everyone who pitched in money to buy maize during tough economic times.
JB, whose real name is Alberto Fernando Zacarias, is a musician and social media personality. More than 80 Malawians living abroad opened their wallets for this cause. The biggest helpers were Mac Zakulanda and someone who stayed unnamed—each gave $250, worth about 1 million Kwacha on the street exchange market.
During his live video, JB bubbled with energy, thanking all the donors. He promised the maize would reach hungry areas before April ends, though they haven't picked exact locations yet. His team keeps looking for maize at good prices. JB asked people back home to remember that American life brings many challenges. Money doesn't stretch as far as many think.
These generous donors lose sleep working hard shifts just to help others. JB reminded everyone that family members sending cash from America make real sacrifices. He asked Malawians who receive money from relatives abroad to spend it carefully. Life overseas isn't easy, despite what many believe. Those who give up comfort to support others deserve thanks and respect for their hard work.
