Dance the night away!

Hello

Again this will be a short post as I am typing using another volunteers computer and he is German so the keys are all in the worng place and there are extra letters! Very confusing!!

Had a nice time at the lake the other weekend for a regional meeting and then down to Lilongwe for a meeting about writing lesson plans for this new curriculum for school drop outs to encourage them to get a basic education and perhaps reenter school. Think it will be hard as my topic is Livelihoods – don’t know much about them in Malawi but it will be interesting to find out!!

Was out last night for my birthday night out in Mzuzu. We went for dinner first at a place called mzuzoozoo which is run by expats. The we headed to a night club called Paris. It was awful. There were 5 mzungus (white) and one Ugandan in our group and we caused quite a stir with the local Malawians – mainly men and apparently the few ladies were prostitutes! Nice! We didn’t stay long cause we were surrounded by the men! We went next door to a quiter place but the music was awful!! It was quite strange being taller than most of the men in the place – apparently Malawians on average only reach 70% of their growth potential – and I wasn’t even wearing heals!!

Heading back down to the south next week to zomba for an educational thing so hopefully can update you after that!

Enjoy xx

  • Hi Caroline, Happy birthday for tomorrow!!!!! Any requests for little things to be sent over? You'll be glad you're not here, it hasn't stopped raining for weeks. So much for 'summer' holidays!! Still, it's nice to be off.

    Take care and try to avoid any more dodgy clubs!
