In Livingstonia on top of Malawi

Threw clay on potter's wheel on Lake Malawi.

At Tukombo Village did everything!   Welcomed by Chief and dancers and Banda family treated us like family.  Some visits were school for orphans, preschool, HIV support group, progressive farmers, women in the rice fields and at cassava wells, health clinics in need of resources including electricity and water, the goat project, and more.  We were joyfully exhausted.

Enjoyed writing with around 400 girls at Tukombo Girls School and were invited to evening dramatic performance.  The thunderous welcome by girls made us feel like rocks stars.  Look out Madonna!  Our only big night out after dark!

Elder ceremony was joyous with dream quilt squares.  Enjoyed our time with the women.  Quilted with others as well and...

Due to this year's rainy season all travel books need updating.  The road to Livingstonia is more than harrowing, but we are alive and well.  After a day of rest today which included some walking to the falls and the elders of the group continued to the bottom of the falls and were late for lunch.  Robyn, Sue and Kari and local women quilted on the porch and m (except the person who told us to go right instead of left on the way to Livingstonia) of Malawi are doing.

P. S.  We figured out we should go left before we took that wrong turn.
