I've been atending a 2 week long meeting in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, that's why I haven't post anything recently. The meeting was called in country training (ICT) and we had sessions about the 4 diferent programs of VSO in Malawi, Health, HIV/AIDS, Education and Food Security. Some of the presentations were very interesting and helped me to have a better picture of the problems in Malawi and understand some of the things that we have seen, but in general we all were a bit bored, we have been for 7 weeks in the country and we are all eager to go to the field and start work!!
We had a week end at the middle of the training and we spent one day at the lake, a couple of hours drive from Lilogwe. It was a beautiful day, some people bathed, some spent the time in the beach or in the bar... We went to a beach resort called Livinstonia, with bars, restaurants and tourists... but if you walked to the end of the beach you would arrive to the reality were the locals were washing their clothes and the kids were jumping in the rocks and trapping fish in plastic bottles.
The kids of Ilona (canadian volunteer that has come with her family) were exploring the rocks with the local children and some of us joined them in the afternoon. Those kids were fantastic, they were showing us the way to a cave with bats, jumping in the rocks like goats. They wanted us to take pictures of them posing in the rocks.. At the end of the rocks we were suspended over the lake and the views were fantastic. I am uploading some pictures in my site..
