There’s not a whole lot going on in my Malawi life these days. I sent the money to purchase the land via a bank wire. It was the least expensive way I could find. I’ll look into PayPal later. I’ve just set up that account.
Thanks for all of the donations. It is much appreciated. I am so honoured that so many of you, who don’t know me, believe in what I am doing and are supporting me. I will soon post a list of costs so that you can see just how far your donations can go in Malawi.
Mabvuto has malaria. It is his second bout this year. He should be fine in a few days but he has been too ill to go make the land purchase. He has decided to take Kelita with him as a witness since it will be a very large sum of money he will be handing over. Malawians aren’t always honest unfortunately.
The new cook, Elles, started on Monday. I’ve heard good reports about her. At this point maemory, the previous cook, is still being difficult. Mabvuto has tried twice to give her the salary she is owed but she refuses to accept it. Twice she demanded a meeting with the social welfare people and Mabvuto and both times she failed to show. I’ve told Mabvuto not to agree to any more meetings and not to chase her down to offer her the salary. If she doesn’t want it, we can use it elsewhere. Her stubborn attitude is quite amusing to me. I don’t understand her and I’m glad she’s gone.
My class will soon write their first letter to Malawi. I’m also going to see if any kids in grade 5 or 6 want to become pen pals with any of the orphans. Pen pals are great fun when you are a kid.
Anyway, that’s what’s going on. This weekend I will write thank you notes, write a letter to solicit money from ETFO and CTF and try to work on the slide show. It’s all good stuff.
Thanks again for reading.
