Thank you from Malawi

Ireen at training in Malawi

 Ireen, the Sinkhani health worker supervisor in Malawi, sent her quarterly report this week.  She provided records documenting the monitoring of 6552 babies in the last 3 or 4 months.  That's a lot of squirming little bodies being weighed and measured to keep them on the road to health!

Ireen also sent a big thank you for the training session held in Nkhata Bay, Malawi, for 29 Sinkhani in June.  She said, "To us we enjoyed it [the training]very much.  Some of us have never been to the lake so it was their first time to see Lake Malawi, they enjoyed it very much and they thank you very much also with the lessons we have learnt many ways of how we can be good and caring volunteers to people in communities and villages."

She then added,  " We wish as if we can go again."  I'm sure they do!  For many this will be the one and only 'big' trip in their lives.  Transport is expensive and makes leisure travel prohibitive for most villagers.
