I'm back in Scotland after completing my time in Malawi (plus a
few additional months). I really didn't want to leave and it was
very difficult to physically pack boxes and bags and even worse
to leave Margaret, Ken and Blessings.
While I'm
definitely no longer in Malawi, my work in Malawi does not end
here. I'm still hoping to look for 4 more link schools. I know I
have to step back sometime but I'm not ready yet - maybe it's
less for them and more for me, who knows?
I would
like to thank you all for your help, encouragement and support
throughout the past 15 months. I truly believe we made a small
difference to peoples lives, and in some cases a massive
difference. There were many occasions when the song 'One moment
in time' struck me as poignant - particularly Joshua who is now
in school thanks to you, the 'lightbulb' moments when the girls
realised they could also play football, try woodcarving etc. The
best moments were when the people just smile in disbelief that
someone in a country so far away thinks about them - that was my
magic moment.
During my time in Malawi I started preparing a
school resource pack and it is now
completed. It started as a hobby and then became a real passion
so if any teachers or schools are interested there is
information in the "School
Resources" section which you can access from the menu
bar.
"Thanks for
everything and I hope the people of Malawi have touched your
lives in some way through my reports and photos. Your
contributions most certainly touched their lives."
