Malawi Entreprenuership Development Institute (MEDI) where Peace Corps Volunteers ran the week-long Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) camp.  I taught four sessions: "Career Counseling," "Starting a Business," "Healthy Sexual Relationships" and "Healthy Sexual Practices."

  2. Hello Erica!

    You have a very nice blog, and it is really coll to be able to read it. The stuff you do as a PCV is amazing, hope you are having a great time! Photos are beautiful too!

    My name is Rajko and I am from Montenegro, small country in southeastern Europe. I was wondering if it's possible for you to help me with my project. I am trying to collect postcards from every country in the world, and I still miss Malawi in my collection. So far, I've managed to collect postcards from almost 200 countries, and having postcard sent from Malawi would make my day, and I would be forever grateful to you! Of course, I can send you back anything you would like to receive from my country, just let me know what. I also have my postcard blog, where I show my collection day by day, you are very welcome to visit it: http://mnepostcards.blogspot.com/

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance! Here is my email: rajkogolovic@gmail.com

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Yours faithfully,
    Rajko
