i'm headed to Nkhoma, an hour north of Lilongwe, the capital. i found it on google maps. the things i've learned about Malawi so far:
very, very friendly people
decimated by AIDS
over half the population is under 17
Chichewa and English are the official languages
the school year goes from jan thru nov
i will be working at the Ebenezer School teaching either kindergarten or a reception (pre-k) class. i will work in partnership with the malawian teachers.
jessi, i'm so happy you started this blog, it will be easier to follow in my RSS feed than the emails. good luck in malawi! when do you leave? i'm so glad i'll be able to "follow along." :)
