Shave for a cause

Robyn Casey left Ocean Grove in 2004 to help the people of Malawi, an impoverished African nation regularly ranked among the poorest in the world.

Robyn’s dedication to helping the children and women of Malawi is well known, and her charity Mphatso Children Foundation provides hope for those living in poverty.

However, Robyn’s current Temporary Employment Permit has expired and no more extensions are allowed.

Robyn must raise US$10,000 (about AUD$13,500) for a permanent residence permit to stay and continue her work in Malawi.

Jack Johnstone has lived in Malawi and holds Mphatso close to his heart.

Known for his long dreadlocks, the 23-year-old decided to shave it all off to raise money so Robyn could stay in Malawi.

Jack had his dreadies cut off at The Wave Baptist Church in Ocean Grove and raised a staggering $15,470.
