Scottish Day At Mzambazi


 We spent a wonderful couple of days at Mzambazi, near the Zambian border.  Mzambazi is a beautiful rural community where the goats roam freely, bullocks pull the carts along the rough track. while maize and tobacco crops surround the dwellings.

Our purpose in visiting this time was to assist Mzambazi Community Day Secondary School celebrate their first ever Scottish Day.  Staff and students participated in a variety of activities to find out a little more about the Scottish culture; Scottish country dancing, reciting Scottish poems, singing Scottish songs, playing traditional games and learning about famous Scottish people.

Everyone at the school and in the community is looking forward to meeting their Scottish partners from Largs Academy in June.

Beautiful Babies

There were several beautiful newborn babies at St. John's Hospital when we visited to give out the lovely hand knitted clothes and blankets from the ladies in Scotland.



Monkey Business at Nkhata Bay

We enjoyed our recent stay at Nkhata Bay for a couple of days.  There was a little rain, keeping everything very green and it is still warm.  Around 5.30p.m. we were able to watch the monkeys jumping from tree to tree searching for food.
