Beyond Soccer Clinics.....Week 2

We expanded the irrigation project in the vegetable garden. The size of the garden tripled and the irrigation system was enhanced. The drip tapes were replaced and/or installed and a solar powered pump is now delivering water to the irrigation tank.  The 1000L tank had been filled by hand until now, amazing!

VBS went really well and we had over 100 kids learning about how God changes lives. It was exciting to see them wearing the crowns we had made on Monday throughout the rest of the time we were there.

We met the Regional Tribal Head of the area who looks after 40,000 people. We got to hear about his plans and the struggles that he faces as Chief. He was impressed about the projects that we brought o the people in his villages and asked for our email adresses so that we could stay in touch!

We are on our way to Lake Malawi tired yet energized for a short retreat to reflect about our time here in Malawi, what went well and what needs to be changed for next year's trip.

We leave here on Sunday for our long flight home.
