On July 20th—the day when demonstrations and violence were occurring in the cities of Malawi—our family was blessed to be experiencing a holiday/educational trip. Please view additional photos of the trip on Facebook.

We visited Kasungu National Park where we had a picnic and hiked with a forest ranger, armed with a rifle in case we encountered a ferocious lion. Fortunately or unfortunately— depending on your point of view—we only saw monkeys, crocodiles and many trees.

We traveled on to Nkhotakota Pottery Lodge (where our friends from America stayed during their 2008 visit) to enjoy beautiful Lake Malawi, delicious meals, and creating pottery. The boys were able to make clay bowls on the wheel and paint an already-molded cup. A good time was enjoyed by all. These are wonderful memories that we will share forever and are thankful to many of you for sharing your resources to make this trip possible.


When the boys experience new and different things, their development is enlarged and expanded.
They will begin the school year in September in the following grades: Eston, Happy, Humphrey, Hamilton and Harrison as juniors in High-School; David, Raphael, Benson and Eli as freshmen; Adamson and Stanley as 8th Graders; and Uledi as a Junior in University. You will be investing in the future of Malawi if you assist with school fees for these boys and others who are looking for a bright future through education.
