What heroes really look like.. #Jugglers #W4Z

Zdenék Bradác holds the Guinness World Record for juggling four objects for 2 hours and 46 minutes since 2010, impressive right? Well, when you read this we may need to bestow this GWR to two very deserving jugglers…
 
I first met Mary and John Coyne on the hall ways of college, a crazy duo whose humour, energy and ability to finish each other’s every sentence immediately captured my attention. This selfless pair established the voluntary charity ‘Wells for Zoe’ based in Malawi, where they have worked endlessly to improve the lives of people in Malawi since 2005. This charity functions on absolute belief in the power of humanity, where no aspirations are imposed, instead, W4Z support Malawians on their own plans, respecting their dignity, culture and traditions as they enable the Malawians to do what may seem impossible without their help.
 
Every cent donated to this charity is used in Malawi and most importantly only for the Malawians! employing only Malawians where Mary and John unendingly gather suiting volunteers to further propel this sustainable development. This charity is a three prong approach, juggling the development of:

1.       The water and sanitation available to Malawians, building wells made from scratch in the charity factory ran by Malawians and overseen by John.
2.       The education of Malawians: supporting girls to attend secondary schools, establishing adult education and in servicing pre-schools, primary and secondary schools to enable the deliverance of an effective education for the children of Malawi.
3.       The agricultural enterprises of the country: employing Malawians on the charity farm, introducing the propagation strategies of grafting and budding plants to better suit the climate of Malawi.

John and Mary are parents, grandparents, ambassadors and the driving force of ‘Wells for Zoe’, juggling this multifaceted charity, family and friends worldwide. This pair are two normal people whose extraordinary actions and attitudes towards life make them HEROS!
