We headed into Mulanje for yet another trip to the cash
machine. We no longer feel bad creating a queue behind us as we take out our
various limits on each card. This time there was money in the bank and it
seemed to go much smoother.
From there we drove back towards Blantyre to Thuchila
Teacher Development Centre. It was there
that we were reunited with our good friend Mr. Chiromo who is now the Head
Teacher of a primary school with 3000 pupils (and still very few
classrooms). We had a meeting with the
Primary Education Officer then met the Thuchila Sports Development Committee. Before coming to Malawi, the Dunblane
Doubletree Hilton Road Race Committee kindly donated £2000 towards the
development of sport in Malawi. The committee that was formed has come up with
an excellent proposal that will allow 13 primary schools across the Thuchila
Education Zone improve access to sports including netball, football and
athletics. We were both very impressed by their organisation and ideas on how
they would take the project forward. We
handed over a large cheque for photo opportunities as well as some medals and
pens donated by the Dunblane Hilton. The committee will set up a bank account
and the money will be forwarded to them then.
