Back to Malawi

After a break at home for 6 weeks I was quite looking forward to coming back as word from Malawi was that the classroom blocks were finished and due to be handed over on the 15th July and the staff house would be 3 weeks later. This was a 'malawianism'!  Imagine my disappointment when I found that the classroom blocks were not finished and the staff house not even off the ground. It looks as though it will be another couple of months - given the rate of progress of the contractor - unless we take drastic action...............hmmm..............that just doesn't work in Malawi.................manyana, manyana, manaya comes to mind.  They will tell you it will be ready on Monday but don't tell you which Monday.  Is that this week, next week, sometime never????????? It's very frustrating but just for the record here is where we are:

Two classroom blocks nearing completion!

We now have our first group of volunteers from Outlook Expeditions here so some interesting postings to come next time.
