This is malawi

I don’t have much news to report from Malawi. The land has been purchased. We got 1.5 acres for about $1200. As soon as the rainy season starts mabvuto will plant trees around the perimeter of the property. I have requested fruit trees so that we can enjoy the fruit and perhaps sell some at the market. we’ll have avocado, mango, oragne and apple trees.

Some sad news came to me from Malawi this past weekend. My friend Harry’s daughter died. She was two years old. Her name was Tadala meaning “We are blessed.” She seems to have died from malaria. She was sick and then recovered. It is difficult to say exactly what caused her death. The family rushed her to the hospital but there was nothing to be done for her. This was Harry’s youngest child ad his only girl.

Unfortunately the loss is a sad reality of life in Malawi.

Jennifer are you talking about Harry Kamwazi’s child?
