News from Malawi

We recieved this letter from the Peace Corps in Malawi dated March 10,

Greetings from the Warm Heart of Africa,

A brief message to let you know that your Peace Corps Malawi Trainee has arrived safely in country. S/he is safley housed at our training hub in Dezda, and moved to a nearby village today to live with a host familiy during pre-service training. I have attached a picture of the smiling group for you. The group will be divided into three seperate groups and be extreemly busy during the next two months.

We are in Africa!

Hello to all, we are in South Africa! We arrived safely.(Early Wednesday your time) The flight was 15 hours long... After today(Thursday) we will have been on four flights in four days... Our hotel is on airport property but it has 12 ft walls...

Today we fly to Malawi, we are all so excited.

This will be our last blog for two months, during our training but after that we will have internet access regularly... hopefully. As soon as we can, we will put our pictures on here as well... We watched our first African sunset, beautiful, big and orange!

This was sent in an e-mail received Thursday morning. Keah ask us to copy it and post it for her. (The picture is them leaving home for DC.)

Please keep them in your prayers. A specific prayer would be to protect them from any adverse side effects from the malaria pills they need to take.
