The Malawians are a gorgeous people, similar to the Irish of the 50's, seeking a little help and knowledge to improve their living standards. Surely it is not acceptable that a human being suffering from HIV should have to also battle against Hunger"

Eoin ‘The Bomber' Liston, Kerry GAA Allstar

The visit to Malawi was the most enriching and educating experience that I have ever been fortunate enough to be part of.

Robbie O'Malley, Meath GAA Allstar

It did my heart good to walk onto the playing pitch each day and see the smiling faces of the children all eager to take part in the PFL Sports & HIV Awareness programme."

Mary Kennedy, RTE, Volunteer Tanzania.

"It was a wonderful experience and I know I have made friends for life"

Anne O'Dwyer, Volunteer Tanzania

I was delighted to give my time to this cause & the reward to us was that when we left we had people playing music.

Paddy Cole, World famous Jazz musician

The Africans I met were rich in decency as they are poor in material ways. It has been the experience of a lifetime and I'd recommend it to anyone, if even just once, to realise how much we have and how little we appreciate it.

Adrian Dooley, Volunteer Tanzania

"It was 2 weeks out of my life that I will always remember. Every day of it! Can you say that about the last two weeks.... Any two weeks of the last 5 years?"

Mairead Meagher, Volunteer, Tanzania

"To anyone considering the experience, I would say for it - You'll get back a lot more than you could ever give"

Mary Dooley, Volunteer Tanzania

"We all see these awful sights of the 3rd world on our televisions, we can change the channels at home but when you sit 2 feet away from a child dying of HIV, you can't get that picture out of your head"

Henry Shefflin, GAA Allstar, Malawi

"I played competitive sports for years but never felt anything like the nerves I experienced as the children got ready to put on their display. My tears of pride that morning will haunt me for evermore. As I said many times over the two weeks in that sports field, it's not what they learned from us - it is very much what we learned from them"

Caroline Browne, Sports Volunteer, Tanzania

"The PFL concept is fantastic and long may it continue. I was delighted to have been able to go and teach music to such talented people. It has been the most sad, happy, humbling, emotional experience of my life and I hope to return one day."

Ray McDonnell, Volunteer Tanzania

To me it was the most exciting and memorable experience of my life which will remain with me forever - lots of hard work and laughter, thank you.

Valerie Stokes, Volunteer Kenya

I thought the experience was fantastic and I was happy to be involved.

Tony O'Brien, Volunteer Kenya

It was tough, shocking, amazing. It really heightened our awareness of the situation in Kenya and how a little means a lot out there.

Dairine Trundle, Volunteer Kenya

One of the most rewarding things I have done in a long time.

Magda Hutchinson, Volunteer Kenya
