Once again we were delighted to visit Mzambazi, near the
Zambian border. This time the purpose of
our visit was to present 42 mattresses for the girl boarders who sleep on the
bed springs at the moment. As you can
imagine the girls were absolutely delighted with the gift from donors in
Scotland. Now the girls will have a very
comfortable night’s sleep and be able to concentrate more in class. Paul and I only wish the donors could be here
to experience the extreme joy from the whole school community, village head men
included.
The pupils had prepared a wonderful programme of entertainment to celebrate this joyful occasion. Pupils sang, went on parade, danced and enacted several dramas. We could not stop laughing when the pupils presented a Press Conference which included both of us. I must say we liked the “Malawian Paul and Anne” who were interviewed by the press.
Our journey to and from Mzambazi was an adventure in Fr.
Peter’s comfortable Honda CRV; the radiator overheated both ways. The 30 min stops were excellent for speaking
with local people and taking some photos in the hot sun.
