Rhino Tracking!

We went rhino tracking with two scouts! Patrick and our neighbor the head tracker Christopher


Tracking through the bush!


Fezzick wore a kilt and had to clear the road for the vehicle. The roads had not yet been cleared for vehicles!



Me and Fez!

The guys filled our dug out canoe with dirt and plants! Looks nice in front of the house!


Sadly we saw no rhinos but we did capture this rare African Jack a lope (they are much larger in size that the Oklahoma ones!)

Our First Week with Fezzick

While awaiting Fez to arrive Bryan worked with the inventor of the concrete water pump to get it ready to be used in a village.


We took it to a village just outside the park where farmers do dry season irrigation and tried it out then gave it to the farmers to use and tell us how to make it better.

The inventors sister Marianne who is interested to write a book about the whole FullBelly project

Gifts from the farmers

Fez took lots of video...



We went to church with Christopher's family and we named their 8th child, a son, Samuel Blessings



We went to Cape McClear to enjoy the lake. If you come to Malawi, you have to see the lake!



We spent one night on Domwe Island so this is us leaving looking back at the Cape


The walkway connecting the place to sleep to the island...





Our tent


Snorkling to see all the beautiful fish, cichlids
