Children in their classroom

The conditions of the classrooms are crowded and they typically sit on the floor for 7-8 hours.  There is only natural light and no electricity or fans.  The children from the Makalani village attend primary school here.

Conditions of the classrooms we will be renovating in July 2011.

I am going back to Malawi!!

I couldn't be more excited.  I made the decision to take the trip scheduled in July with Be The Change Volunteers.  We will be going back to the same village and renovate the primary school where we visited the kids.  I remember the crowded conditions, lack of teachers and the poor conditions of the school buildings.  BTCV has partnered with Invest to rebuild the school and build a resource center in the village.  We are so excited as the team is developing.  More info later.  I am particularly excited because we are taking teenagers with us.  I know of at least 4 that have expressed an interest.
