lots happening..........

Hello everyone
Greetings from a chilly Mzuzu evening! Its definitely getting cooler, so if you are visiting in the next couple of months please bring warm clothes!
Excitement this week as we watched the school roof going on - its a real blessing to see this happening so quickly!
The school from the opposite side of the road!
This week I went to Karonga and we visited Kasoba village but also Karonga Girls Secondary School which was also damaged in the earthquake in December. In fact the tremors are still happening but thankfully the magnitude is not so great. Here you can see the girls hostel - it might not look too bad but its the structural damage which is difficult to capture in a photograph.

These are the tents the girls are using as hostels - you can imagine the lack of security and safety for the girls who return to school on Monday.




This week saw the second week of our training in Mzuzu - here you can see me in action teaching at the front!!

The two trainers, Nicolas and Enala looking smart.


The caregivers making materials for their schools.....



and some finished products.............




We were priviliged to have the Deputy Minister of Gender, Children and Community Services to come to the finishing ceremony to hand out the certificates to the caregivers. She has a great heart for young children in Malawi and was a great encouragement to everyone who attended.




It was great this week also to welcome friends for a few days. I had a lovely time with Carson and Diane and actually had a relaxing day off with them. Thanks for a lovely time!!


Hope you all have had a great week too. Till next time..........
Blessings
Diane
