September


This is the inn in Mchinji district where I stayed with eleven other volunteers for our "Language Intensive" week.  After that week we took our "Language Proficiency Interviews" at the Peace Corps training site in Dedza.  We had to receive a score of Intermediate-High to be sworn in as volunteers and I got Advanced-Low.

We saw a rainbow on the drive from Dedza to Lilongwe for swearing in as Peace Corps volunteers.


My friends Sally and Talia at the US Ambassador's residence, where we swore in.

Two children coloring by my door.  People here loooove sliced bread.



Children borrow books on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from the little library in my house.
