Pangono pangono...

Hello everyone! this is the first entry of my blog! I type this things at home and then I upload them when I get conected, so you will get my news a bit late.

I have been in Malawi for almost 2 weeks now and I have not really settled down. We arrived the 3^rd of June. I say ‘we’ because we were 14 volunteers in total. We spent the first week in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi in what they call the ‘in country training’ or ICT.

The ICT includes formation about culture, language, work, security etc. We had quite a lot of fun, specially in the evenings when we used to have a gin&tonic in the hotel next door :-) . In the first days we were always shepherd everywhere by the VSO staff or by other volunteers. They don’t recommend to walk alone in some parts of the city, even during the day!

The end of the ICT was a workshop with our employers. They were supposed to come and participate, but mine did not come... umm this doesn’t start well.. Finally a driver came on Friday afternoon and he took me to my house in Blantyre. Pangono pangono, you hear that a lot. it means, of course, slowly
