Some Pictures!






Fishermen on Lake Malawi. Balancing on the dug-out canoes are made to look easy by the locals! This was the view from my room at the backpackers lodge.





Our house in the village. The blue bucket on the right is one of our water buckets and the green one on the left is our bath.

Me with Mary in Rumphi. An inspirational woman who runs a school in Mzuzu. She gave us a lift between Mzuzu and Rumphi, which is the nearest town to our village.
Work on the construction site. The man in the blue t-shirt is Mcloud, our host. This pic shows the stage we were at before we left for our weekend away. We now hope to have all the walls up to window level.
The next few weeks will hopefully see the completion of the building plus a couple of trips; one to Nyika National Park for a Safari and one to Vwaza Marsh where we will be accompanying some people from the village to an intense course in beekeeping skills.
Till next time,
love amali x
