Malawi Team Touch Down!
Our 12 Malawi Orphans & Community Project volunteers have this morning touched down into Lilongwe airport, and are off on their way down to Blantyre, ready to head to the project site tomorrow. All the team arrived tired but excited, to be greeted by their leader Eoin and Malawian assistant Joseph.
Following the weekend spent acclimatising and getting to know the communities, the team will be getting stuck into building a new orphan feeding centre in the rural village of Mwandika, where currently there is none. These centres, staffed by amazing local Malawian ladies, provide orphans and vulnerable children in the community with at least one hot meal a day, as well as some basic pre-school education. The generous volunteers have also brought out a whole load of toys and games for the children to use once the centre is completed, as currently they have nothing. The volunteers will be staying in an empty school dormitory (beds and mattresses, what luxury!) in the nearby village of Malilo and walking the twenty minutes to site every day...a good way to get the heart pumping for work!
