We ran a day trip to mulanje and back just to purchase a carved cedar chest! What a beautiful place! I hope to return with Bryan so that we can hike the mountain some!
Shawna and I went to the local grade school and gave the children grades 1 through 7 an hour or so of art class. We actually just brought supplies to the kids and had them draw or paint, allow them to have a creative time. This is something they do not get at school. These pictures are the 7th graders painting their homes all next to one another creating a large village scene! What fun they had!
The women (wives of the scouts) had their party (every 6 months or so)where they dance and buy gifts for their secret pals. Someone bought a whole set of pots for someone. It is a time to have fun together with the women.
neighbor kids, Yamikani, Mia and Lockylo
Bryan and Mia giving each other the thumbs up, well sort of!
Shawna!
The women purchased bricks so that the construction on the community center can start. I fear the rains will come before they can get it all done.
Bryan got a kids ball and played with the kids... Shawna joined in too!
Christopher our neighbor returning from work and giving Mia a ride on his bike!
Some Dutch visited the lodge and challenged the loal soccer team and so they all played together! Louis the kid helping us around our home was on the local team too! He looks happy!
All the players together
Shawna leaves here Thursday, so we have some more shopping to do and lots of packing! It has been so much fun to have her here and to share this experience with her... I think she has changed some as a result. But in good ways! I will try to post pictures of the packing and her leaving later this week! Thats all for now!
