Well our last day of construction has come and gone. Both our team and the Malawian workers are sad to see the end of the project. Friendships were formed and I’m sure we won’t forget each other over the years. We were able to get as far as the forms built for the ring beam, almost all the walls finished and the door frames put in. Andrew and Anita cooked up a special supper of two different fish dishes and various veggie dishes. Afterwards was spent packing by candlelight and flashlights as the power went out during a brief thundershower. Tomorrow we are off to Dedza and then on to Lilongwe for supper with the Brooks’ family. On Sunday we begin the long journey back to Canada.
