Arrival in Mzuzu

We have arrived safely after the long journey. Our flights to Amsterdam then Nairobi were smooth. Father Philip and Father Edmund with Mr David Mhango, the Head Teacher at St Peter's Secondary, were there to greet us at the airport. They drove the group by car, minibus and pick up truck to Mzuzu.

It is now Saturday. It is wonderful to be back in Mzuzu. Our group visited the Mary Mount, the top girl's secondary school in Malawi. Here, the girls, who are boarders were washing clothes, sweeping classrooms and cleaning their dorms. At Mary Martha Orphan Care Centre the orphans and volunteers enjoyed their meal of meat, nsima, rice and greens which was kindly provided from the various donations at home - thank you. The students of the group had planned a variety of games  for the orphans to learn: Duck, Duck, Goose. At then of our wonderful afternoon the children received gifts of lollipops and balloons while the adult volunteers proudly wore the new red tee shirts.   It was great to see such joy and to share the great friendship and memoires we are making for all of us. Everyone had a great time.
