This is Grant, who teaches Biology, Geology and Bible Knowledge.  He's smart, articulate, funny, supportive and perceptive and probably the person I'm closest to in Kamsonga.  

This is the school secretary sitting by the second-hand computer that the school just purchased.  They are trying to fix their larger generator or get solar panels so that they can use it.

One of my favorite places to relax in Lilongwe - Bohemian Cafe. It's in the same space as Land and Lakes Safaris - the company my parents and I are using to go on a safari to Zambia next month!

This is Isaac.  He's one of my students and is looking for an American pen pal.  Here is his introduction letter.  Please let me know if you are willing to be his pen pal.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a boy of twenty years of age.  I come from Chikuse village here in Ntchisi district.  I am in form four to complete my secondary school education.  I would like you to be my pen pal.  I will be very happy if my request will meet you in time.

Now are the questions that I have in my mind concerning your country.  What is your staple food in America?  Where is your homeland in America?  Lastly, here in Malawi people believe in one God.  What about in America?

Finally, I would like to know more about your life.  How are you?  I am very well here in Malawi.  I will be very happy if you are fine.

Yours Faithfully,

Tadala Lodwell Isaac
