updates from Malawi

In the past few weeks, I've received a few emails from Mwalabu (program director at Blantyre Synod Health and Development Commission) and Bonongwe (VIP's village worker) through Liz (the woman from Allentown who lead the trip). These emails have been updates on the status of various projects that I witnessed the early stages of back in August, including photos that got me a little teary:


well in use



school being built-- beginning stages discussed here

It's incredible to see progress, even from so far away. I can't explain what it's like to see a hole in the ground or a pile of bricks and take part in discussions of plans and how wells and schools closer to the villages will change lives, and then see these things actually happening and knowing the difference that is made. It's absolutely amazing.
