The meeting with all the teachers began with a prayer and then we all went around speaking about what each teacher felt they had gained from the 2 weeks. This is always great because you never know what will be gained. The Malawian teachers mentioned things like essay writing, vocabulary games, classroom culture and even…
I rode with the truck to the house here on the farm where the maize was grown. Some of the employees here are given plots of land to grow their own crops on. When we knew we needed maize Guy was sure to ask people here of they had what we needed before buying elsewhere….
