Now adults themselves, they work with Susanna and Rob at Little Miracles and between them have produced twelve grandchildren.

They have been to countries, cities and regions all over the world including New Zealand, Canada, the USA, Hong Kong, the Caribbean, Paris, India, London, Ireland, Rwanda, South Africa, Venice, Indonesia, Switzerland and Fiji.

They have also given back to the community through dedicating their time to worthy causes. Susanna has been a volunteer youth leader for fifteen years.

She has spent time working with parents to prevent child abuse as well as mentoring young mothers. She has also spoken at Christian women’s conferences.
