Charlie Fautin

I am a public health nurse and worked as a Lalmba volunteer in Showak, Sudan during 1988/89. My wife Susan and I now live in Oregon, and in addition to Sudan I have also lived, studied, and worked in Wyoming, Colorado, Alaska, New York, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India, and Tanzania.

When I was a child my family lived in Kabul, Afghanistan, which helped me form a strong identity as a citizen of the world. Nearly a decade of international aid work, including my time with Lalmba, fed that spirit and nurtured my dedication to public service. International travel and work has enabled me to meet, live and work with many of the finest and kindest people I could ever imagine.

Susan and I have remained strongly supportive of Lalmba since our time in Sudan. With your support, my walk with Tembea Na Mimi can help Lalmba to continue its mission of empowering rural communities, and developing local talent, in Africa.
