Time is going by so very quickly. We leave for Malawi in just over 3 weeks!! I can't believe that we are actually going back. It still seems so surreal still. We have a team of 7 people going this time. Jaako and I, Clint and his son Sydney, my friend Lily and 2 university girls Laura and Carrie. I'm so happy so many people wanted to join this mission and help the people in Malawi. We have so many extra suitcase this time to bring stuff over with!!! We are bring over Bags of Hope for the children again as well as underwear for the girls and various health items like vitamins, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
While in Malawi, we will be doing 3 different things.
1. For the first week we will be going to visit villages close to Lilongwe where we will be based. We will distribute the Bags of Hope to the children, and food supplies.
2. The next 4-5 days we will spend visiting different schools in hopes of securing a partnership with one of them that we could send our scholarship students to.
3. The rest of the time will be spent up near Lake Malawi in remote villages that don't receive much aid. Our friend Katherine has some projects on the go up there and we will check them out and see how we can be of help.
Both Jaako and I will be reporting on our blogs as often as we can so keep checking back.
We are very excited to be going again. I can't wait to see my friends again. Thank-you to all of you that have helped the kids in Malawi. We make a difference. We really, really do.
