Violet from the Clinic came and collected Maria, Paul, Gertrude and Chris and took them to the Chilumbula School where they observed the classes overflowing with children. The children were wonderful and sang songs to them and they in turn sang to them. Mr Vincent told Paul that he is very gracious for the latrines that the ’07 Team funded. They look great at the back of the school. The gang then took a Chilumbula taxi (rode on the back of a bicycle) back to the Clinic. Work continues on the house and we were able to finish off 4 main inside walls. Late in the afternoon Nelson took us to a village where Lifeline Malawi was putting on a HIV/Aids Drama. This is one of the ways they get the word out on HIV/Aids prevention as there are very few TV’s and few radios in the area. Many people came from all over to see the drama which lasted for about 2 hrs. At the end of the drama Darren was asked to give a speech on how HIV/Aids affect all races and cultures.
