Dsenyo Training in Malawi | 10 Mar 2010

I'm here in Malawi for the month of March and promised I would keep all of you up to date on my blog. I resolved to blog for each leg of the trip:

1. Lilongwe
2. Kasungu
3. Mzuzu (Ekwendeni, Nkhata Bay)
4. Khande
5. Zambia
6. Tanzania 

Well, I'm already in Mzuzu, leaving tomorrow for Khande and feeling a bit behind on blogging. So here's a brief overview of my first few days in Malawi which I spent in Lilongwe getting settled and touching base with people in the capitol city.

I wanted to say thank you for such a great bag. The clay colored wristlet was just perfect and I feel good wearing something that betters the world and the lives of others. It came faster than I thought and was a great surprise to see it in the mail this weekend. I'll definitely be ordering your swing bag for vacation this summer. Thanks again!
