Today, especially, we honour those who teach our young people in #Malawi. #Education is vital #GirlsEducation is vital not just for now but for future generations. Girls who are educated ensure that their children are educated too. Educate a girl and you educate the nation!

We love our relationships with other NGOs doing similar work in Malawi. Medic to Medic supports the education of health professionals in Malawi. Moira (MMF) and Tamsin (Medic to Medic) met up in New Zealand to share experiences, ideas and plans. Tamsin is off to Malawi soon for the next few months.

Revising our paper leaflet. What a task! Firstly everyone has to have a chance to put in their 2p worth. Then we send to the printers, heart in mouth because of the serious risk of typos creeping in with so much editing and discussion. Delighted to work with Prontaprint Edinburgh who do a great job
