Making a difference

Linda McDonald
Oscar Trimboli
Overview

In my first podcast of 2020, I referred to the story of a midwife from Edinburgh who made a huge difference in the lives of expectant mothers and children in Malawi. Today I talk with that midwife, Linda McDonald, who shares her story about what moved her to action, how she grew a charity that raised over £600,000 over 12 years and her leadership moments.
