19th July:
Basket weaving women in the morning again. AJ sent some of her little school kids to come and practice reading for me, which was really cute. In the afternoon I took Youth Club cause no one else turned up to run it. They were absolutely hyper and took a lot of shouting at the top of my voice and clapping 3 times to get their attention, and even then there were still a few groups of kids talking.
Judith, another of the HIV group, aka my basket ladies
20th July:
The basket weavers came in the morning as usual, and some of the school kids came to read for me. Had a swim in the lake before bootcamp (the exercise group). There was a power cut in the evening just before I was going to have a shower. So I ended up having rather a cold shower in complete pitch black which was ... interesting...! Later at dinner Caroline told me she'd seen a spider the size of her hand on the shower wall, which would have been centimetres away from where I was standing! Movie after dinner- Superbad
I then had a good long chat in the bar with Franklin: Isaac and Winston's older brother.
21st July:
Reading with the children, able readers paired up with kids who couldn't read at all, which was interesting to see which learning methods work for people who cannot even say "the".
Fell on some rocks on the way to see the Lion King show and got myself some juicy bruises- waheyy!
Went to the permaculture club at Mkondezi School in the afternoon then got back and everyone carried a load of big heavy rocks one by one up to the top of the hill.
Found out there are two guys who are called "Chicken Pizza" in Nkhata Bay!
Had a few drinks in the Butterfly bar then headed off to the local club/bar called Bayview.. Drove home with us all riding on the top of an open truck.
