Last week we travelled south in our little car to Nkhamenya to bring our 2 friends Annika and Susanne back to Mzuzu for a few days. The journey by car is about 2 and a half hours, depending on the weather conditions. It was raining a little in Mzuzu, early morning but as we travelled the sun came out and it became much hotter. We had a very good journey. The girls are volunteering at Nkhamenya Girls school which is run by the Rosarian Sisters; all the students are residents. Sister Teresa, the principal told us there are 450 students. At the moment 2 houses are being built for teaching staff to allow them to be nearer the school because they work long hours and at weekends. Currently Sister Teresa has been keeping a close eye on the maize growing in the field, but she is very worried there will not be a big enough yield to keep feeding the girls until the end of the session because the maize has not grown high and it is already tussling.
