Just now in Malawi we are all waiting on the rains so the crops for the coming year will flourish. This is the lean time in the country. Prices of basic household goods and food including vegetables have been increasing. There are fewer tomatoes and onions which form the basis of the tomato sauce to accompany nsima or to be cooked with the greens available.
The arrival of the Christmas gifts from St. Matthew's Academy community bring smiles and laughter to children and adults. The first party we attended was at Mary Martha. Christmas party food consisting or rice, meat (offals) and nsima was prepared. Prayers of thanks were offered as everyone felt touched that people in Scotland were thinking of them at this time.
