CAMP MALAWI 2008
VILLAGE CAMP RECAP
URBAN CAMP RECAP

Camp Malawi 2008 was a blast! More than 60 kids attended the village camp held at We Are One in Kande Beach, while 100 kids attended the urban camp in Mzuzu, held at Wukani Educational Facility.

Events differed somewhat between the urban camp and village camp, but every child explored creative outlets with arts & crafts, enjoyed American playground games, and learned the basics of AIDS prevention and getting the most out of locally-available foods.

Check out the recaps for more detail, including plenty of photos of both camps!

I HEART MALAWI fundraiser, December 2007

The 2nd Annual "I HEART MALAWI" World AIDS Day Fundraiser was a smashing success! We had more than 170 people attend two brunch seatings at Sapa on December 1st. We were thrilled by the enthusiasm and continued support in the grassroots effort to give hope and a future to children in Malawi. Check out the recap for photos of supporters, silent auction items, and Bitchy Bingo host Gusty Winds!

I HEART MALAWI fundraiser, December 2006

On World AIDS Day, Kip Myers debuted his photo collection from the orphanage in Malawi and surrounding areas. Moffat Phiri performed original music and a DVD was shown featuring each of the orphans describing their hopes for the future. We are proud to say it was both a highly successful fundraiser and a rousing party. See photos.
