Our visitors enjoyed being here in Malawi. We spent time around Mzuzu and we visited
Nkhata Bay at the lake a couple of times. We stayed at
Nyjala Lodge on one of our visits where it was lovely to overlook Chikale beach which is sandy and
to see the boys pulling the fishing nets to the shore in the evening as the sun
sets over the water.
At Mary Martha Orphan Care Centre which is in the bush, Anne
had a turn of pumping the water the borehole while the children looked on. She also saw how the women cooked nsima and
vegetables on the outdoor fires; a very smoky business.
At St. Peter’s Secondary School, despite being on holiday
Michael posed a mathematical problem for one of the classes.
The student in the photo demonstrated how he solved the problem.
In Mzuzu, the internet and phone communications have been
intermittent. Jennifer, being a
scientist was very keen to help us fix one of the mobiles which had fallen on
the ground, using some silver foil to get the connection.
At St. John’s Hospital we visited the ward where the Scottish
Thistle is painted on the wall (template made by Sophie Fulton, former student
of St. Matthew’s Academy).
