Wednesday, March 17, 2010


It’s a new day for Judy and Anita as they embarked on their new work projects – Judy to tutor at the Upper Mdumbi School and Anita to work at the preschool. Left for another day is how the Lanaglakhe School will respond to the exodus of volunteers . . . It is a short day at Langalakhe School and a long day at Upper Mdumbi. The day being warmer and brighter than yesterday, quite a few children of various ages show up for tutoring which turns out to be a relatively calm and organized affair, with flashcards (LOVE the Balloon flashcards, which can magically be adapted for all ages!), along with stories, singing and dancing.


Dinner is another well-cooked meal, this time shared with Rev. Spiro and his houseguests. It is interesting to share our experiences in Malungheni and get a perspective on the churches’ missionary work in developing counties. The highlight of the evening is our team effort to customize a song to sing at our farewell – with choreography to follow . . . Here’s hoping no one has a video camera!!


Message of the Day: “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it”. Helen Keller.
