We decided to drive south to Lilongwe, 380km away. On the way we stopped at Bowe to meet with Fr. Joseph a missionary priest from Nigeria. Fortunately Bowe is situated just off the main road so it was fine for our little car. Fr. Joseph showed us around. We visited the local primary school with around 900 pupils, which is considered small. I was impressed to see boys and girls playing a netball match together. We toured the Technical College which is now deserted; it has been closed for 2 years due to lack of funds. However, Fr. Joseph is hopeful that with some support it could be reopened. Sadly the clinic which helped many people in the are is also closed so now people have to travel a distance to Kasungu.
Fr. Joseph has been looking at different ways to bring in some income to the Parish. Recently he purchased one day old chicks so that he will eventually be able to sell their eggs. We found this funny because Fr. Joseph does not like eggs. More surprisingly we saw our first turkeys here.
