Home today

Brett and I didn't go to camp today. I'm not feeling so hot, so I am resting before we do our home stay (staying with a family in the village overnight) on Friday night and go on safari Sunday. So I'm catching up on this blog while no one is here (= faster internet!) Jesse Pipes is here, so we have plenty of coordinators to cover camp. Brett is working on painting the fence around the pool. We're also going to the fabric market this afternoon to buy fabric for a World Camp fund raiser.




These are the two families that keep the World Camp house beautiful and the nsima lunch program going. From the left: John & Monica Chizimba and Felix & Margaret Gilitoni, and their baby, Sampson. We call Felix Angoni because that is the name of his tribe - known in Malawi as the strong warriors. John, Monica & Margaret work hard all day keeping the house clean, washing clothes, and cooking the nsima and relish we serve to the school kids everyday. Margaret carries little Sampson on her back all day in this cool wrap.



The language barrier is a bit hard, but I think I understood John to say that little Sampson has malaria.


This is Angoni cutting the grass with a blade - amazing!
It looks as good as a mower. He is in charge of taking care of the outside of the house, and guarding the gate.
















Here is Brett working on the fence.
The pool has been a great way to cool off and chill after camps. We had a big pool volleyball match the day Jesse arrived. One team has to tread water in the deep end, so it is a good workout.
I usually teach yoga right behind Brett there on the pool deck. Two days ago I have 11 of 15 of us out there for a class! Last night I taught a beginners class for some of our volunteers and one of our Malawian translators.

I'll write again after our home stay...
