We've arrived in Malawi and it is unbelievably beautiful here. It is
true when they call it the warm heart of Africa. We're staying at a
hostel called the Golden Peacock and doing the last of our training.
We had a session this morning on learning Chichewa (Muli Bwanji?- How
are you?, Ndili Bwanji.-I am good, Sugulabwino- Have a good day...)
We spent the afternoon at the market in Lilongwe bartering for flip
flops, work shoes and cell phones. Mom, i found a nice pair of work
shoes for 500 Kwacha= $3.60! I have a cell phone but am in the process
of figuring out how talk time works and how I can get the best deal
for international phone calls.
My co-workers and I are having an amazing time and can't stop smiling.
I have so much to tell you. I will write it all in my next blog post,
but I only have a 10 minutes before dinner starts and I wanted you all
to know that I'm safe and happy.
I'll post my phone number this evening along with much more!
I hope you are all doing very well.
love, peace and nshima,
kate
