Seasons Greetings from Malawi

As we come to the end of another year we can look back over the last twelve months with some degree of satisfaction with the bridge successfully providing safe access throughout the rainy season, the ground breaking ceremony for the school and the beginning of construction of the classroom blocks. It has been a somewhat difficult road but we are on the way now and hopefully next year will see the classrooms filled with students.




We are extremely grateful to our friends in Singapore for their very generous donation of £10,000 which is coming our way. This will enable us to forge ahead with the construction - yewo chomene!



We are now in the rainy season and this morning when I looked out of the window this was the view – very reminiscent of home with the mist – but thankfully it dries up quickly and the sun comes out again.

It is strange to be thinking of Christmas when there are blue skies and temperatures around 34 degrees, cooler when it rains, but the reminders are there in the shops with the Christmas musak, the Christmas trees and the decorations. The contractor is finishing up this week for the Christmas and New Year holidays and we are taking a break too until 4th January 2010.

All that remains is to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and all good wishes for a Prosperous and Successful New Year.
