Mwanje public school

My friend Muriel works for WFP (world food program) and she managed a
project where the kids of the primary school of Mwanje did a theater
play to talk about the school feeding program. The project was
coordinated by Nanzikambe ( http://www.nanzikambe.org/ ) a theater
company of Blantyre, and it was performed in the walk the world last
June. You can see some of the pictures of that day in my flickr site,
the kids played and danced songs that talk about how was life before
the school feeding program arrived to their village, and how is it
now. I am not going to tell you again about the school feeding
program, you can read about it in my entry of walk the world!.

The thing is that the play was a total success and the ministry of
education wanted to record it in a DVD! Muriel has done her own fund
raising and the recording has started. So last sunday we were at the
school and I was taking pictures because we also want to do a calendar
with photos of the project. It was fantastic, I don't have words to
describe the effort of all this children, teachers and nanzikambe
actors.. I am not releasing the pictures of the recording yet (top
secret!!) but I have uploaded some pictures of what was going out
around the school.. For those pictures and other things, just click on
my photos link on the right!
