A message and update from Mwandika, Malawi
I was fortunate this year and was able to lead the team in Malawi. Though I was unable to be there from the start I did have the privilege of being there for the completion and was incredibly proud of all of those that helped to construct the feeding centre. The bellow is a message from Andy who recently visited the center:
A number of the committee were around to give us an update and a few photos are attached. We arrived just after the children had their likuni so a number of them had already returned home but there are still around 30 in the pictures.
Before the new centre was built around 40 children attended daily for likuni. Now there are between 60 and 65 kids attending daily; in fact we may have to increase the number of bags of likuni phala they receive early next year. Our Field Officers are currently
receiving training in order to train the caregivers on pre-school education activities and Mwandika will be one of the focus centres in the coming months.
15 members of the Youth Group continue to meet every week at the centre. The boy who received the wheelchair is doing well and his mobility has improved a little. We couldn't see him unfortunately.
Andy
So once again well done Malawi summer 2011!!!!!
