This is Sarah one of our neighboring volunteers who knows the people we are now working with so she escorted us to our new place and stayed the first two nights with us... that was fun, the three of us sleeping on the floor together under the one net we remembered to grab! The baby on her back is Ana, the happiest malawian child ever!
This is our house... 2 bedroom one other room...
Behind the house is the bafa (place to bath and kitchen
Looking in the front door at the back door which is by no means secure... we are haveing a new door and frame made this week... hey at least it keeps the monkeys out!
The front office... where we play scrabble (in English) and they ALWAYS win!
The front gate...
This is Louis he is our helper... We pay his secondary (high)school fees and he works for us like sweeping the yard, getting water... whatever he can do. He is a cool kid!
last Sunday we were told a hippo died and they were to go see it and invited us along so of course we go... They had just confinscated a large net on their way in...
When we arrived to the spot they said an elephant had killed the hippo... four scouts had spent the evening/night chopping and smoking it... so when we arrived there was a pile of meat three feet high!
The rib cage... it was so big! I decided not to include the photos of the head and well the rest... sorry if it grouses you out.

Baboons near our house!
We are so happy to be moved and working with these people who are awesome! Our house has recieved a white wash as high as the tops of the door frames... and our furniture is in the house... we have ordered bunk beds for our guest room so that Fezzick has a place to sleep when he comes! We will be around for a few days... maybe more pictures will be posted!

Hi Bryan and Keah - I recognize your office! I met you at the PC training in Dedza (with the peanut shellers, etc.). I'll be back in Malawi in June and will spend a night at Mvuu. But I imagine we'll travel in-land to get there. Fun to read your posts and know where you are!
