Second Birthday

Little Martin was 2 years old at the beginning of November.  He is now walking around confidently.  We celebrated his birthday with his gran, aunt and 2 cousins.  His cousin Elbert was on holiday here in Mzuzu for a couple of weeks.

Partners in Scotland

Everyone in St. Mary's Primary, at Nambo in Mzuzu is delighted to become partners with St. Anthony's Primary community in Saltcoats. Mr Kansato, the head teacher was over the moon when he sent his first email to the head teacher at St. Anthony's. Learners at St. Mary's are now eagerly awaiting to here about life in Scotland from their penpals.

Mr Kansato
St Peter's Primary in Mzuzu is a very large school with 2 shifts.  The school has been in partnership with St. Mary's Primary in Largs for about 7 years.  As the school here is growing and more learners wish to communicate with pupils in Scotland, another new and exciting partnership has been established with St. Peter's Primary in Ardrossan; recently they exchanged gifts.

St. Peter's, Ardrossan gifted a school sweatshirt, tie and handbook to Mzuzu


When we were back in Scotland, we thoroughly enjoyed attending the P6 class assembly where pupils shared information they had learned about Africa  and about Malawi.  Their partners at Lunyangwa Girls Primary were very happy to see the photos.

Memories

Tom and Jennifer visited us again in July.  We all had a wonderful time.  Some of the highlights were; returning to stay at the lake, horse riding at Kande, celebrating Tom's birthday, playing games with the children at Mary Martha and the Women's Development Centre, purchasing some lovely things at Dedza Pottery and visiting Salima.
