A couple stories from my trip

Hi, Today I'm gonna talk about some cute little stories about things I saw in Malawi. One time this little boy was looking at us confused because we were white and we were just looking at him and all of a sudden we saw a yellow liquid coming out of his pants. And if you are wondering about what I am talking about, I'm talking about the boy peed. That happened alot to us where we saw little boys pee their pants and all these different kids would walk through it and sit in it and not even care.

There were a couple of times where kids would look at us for about 5 minutes and all of a sudden would start crying if we came to them. All the younger kids were really scared that we were white. It made us sad that they felt so scared.

I'm really missing being in Malawi. I can't wait until next time and I will write to you again next week.

Thoughts about Malawi

Today we were at Starbucks and we bought a couple snacks and a coffee and a hot chocolate and we were joking around that the hot chocolate cost so much money and it only costs $1.35. So then when we started to think about it more we could have sent two children to school in Malawi and like just think about it, your coffee everyday can send a child to school. Just one little coffee, approximately a dollar can send a child to school and still have $.35 left. And $.65 can just buy a note book and a pencil and their salaries are only about $1.oo a day so they don't have the money to do that. To spend all their money that they get in one day to send their child to school so they just don't educate them. Just a few thoughts to think about. Thank-you very much for supporting me and my trip.

Thank-you, Jaako.

Thank-you very much

Thank-you all for coming out to the report night. It turned out to see alot of nice faces there. My trip was wonderful. We're thinking about getting scholarships for different people in Malawi to help them survive but specifically for this one woman named Hope. Her parents died awhile ago and now one of her younger sisters has died and she really wants to be a nurse. So we want to try and give her that scholarship. It's gonna cost $700 every year for 3 year and she can't afford that but people here can afford that. I really hope we can help alot of people to get scholarships. I thank all of you for helping me with my trip and I'll write to you soon.
