First few days in Mzuzu

Yesterday we went for orientation to the primary school to meet the children, teachers, head villagemen and important councillors of education. They performed a display of traditional African singing, dancing and poetry. We were presented with a gift. The gift turned out to be 60 eggs...and a live goat! The goat is, in fact, no longer...we had a BBQ last night! Not necessarily a good experience for all!

Today we headed off to Geisha Primary School for our first day of work experience. The girls painted two classrooms and the office and the guys moved bricks and helped with building work. We also helped to plant some trees, one of which is named 'Blairgowrie High Tree'.
This evening we met some teenagers from the local High School Masasa, and we spent some time getting to know them and exchanging addresses to become penpals.

No need to worry, we are having a fantastic time, the food is good and no evidence of mosquitoes


It is hard for us to update this as the internet can be slow but we will do it as often as we can :)
