Another Day in Malawi

Well, another day is drawing to an end here in beautiful Malawi.
Yesterday we visited Area 25 in Lilongwe and handed out Bags of Hope and taught the kids some english songs.  It was really fun!

Today we visited an orphan feeding centre in Namitete.  We were told to prepare for just under 100 kids, so we made 110 bags.  We were 56 short!  This was one of the worst feelings ever!!  Having kids sitting on the benches watching the other kids open their bags.  It was awful!!  I couldn't even look because I was on the verge of bursting into hysterical tears!!  What a hard day.  The director of the centre took down all the names of the children that didn't receive a bag and we are going to send them once we have made them up tomorrow.

Well, I'm signing off before the power goes down!  That seems to be a constant problem every evening here.
