This update is provided by Team Leader Joe who has been involved with the Charity since he was a young boy growing up in Malawi.
The Northern Ireland team arrived safely in
Malawi and settled into thier newhome very well and made a wonderful friendly
relationship with the local community.
One of the good things about
this team is that they already knew each other from home before thier coming to
Malawi so it was easier for them to be there for each in case any feels home
sick and that was the encouragement from the leaders too.
They are getting on well with
the local language here and following the culture well. They are also loving
the local food.
The project phase for the first
week went really well: goals achieved.
All the volunteers are hard
working and listens to thier leaders all the time.
Talking about health everyone
is fit and no sickness.
This weekend has been a little
bit of seeing Blantyre and all the good tradition things it has. Sunday the
team is expected to climb Michiru mountain which has an altitude of 1400 metres
above sea level.
Its all our hope that the week
next more or less likely the same with all the laughs from everyone and goal
achieving.
Joe.
