<div>Hello, and thank you for being here.
</div>
<div>My name is Deborah White – I’m a recycle artist and storyteller based in the Northern Rivers of Australia. I grew up in Malawi, in the heart of the African Rift Valley, and much of my creative work today draws on those early childhood memories.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is to help me return to Malawi for the first time in decades - not only to honour my promise of taking my late mum home, but also to answer a deep and personal longing. A yearning to reconnect with the land and community that shaped me, to see where I came from through the eyes of an adult.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ll be filming the entire process as Part Two of my current documentary project, “Finding Home: The Art of Belonging.”

<div><strong><em>Why This Journey Matters</em></strong>
</div>
<div>The first chapter of my film explored my sense of belonging through the lens of my childhood memories. But I’ve always known the story wasn’t complete.
</div>
<div>I feel a strong yearning to return - to walk the land once more, to sit with those who still remember, to gather their stories, and to revisit the landscapes that still live in my bones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>This is not just a trip - it’s a remembering. A homecoming to where my story began.</em></strong>
</div>
<div>It’s about more than just me. It’s about amplifying stories of resilience - how people live creatively and resourcefully through hardship. It’s about honouring the women, the makers, the land-carers and the storytellers of Malawi.
