Welcome to "Through a Glass Darkly" - my blog about my service trip to Malawi, Africa.

I left Canada on December 30th for Blantyre, Malawi, AFRICA. I worked with Friends of Malawi Fellowship (FOMF), the organization headed by my aunt Phyllis Labrentz. I taught English language and literature, helping secondary high school students learn to read and write English well enough to pass the government exams.
During that time I was also kept busy teaching guitar, singing, and assisting my aunt.
I left Malawi on July 19th and returned to Canada on July 20th.

GIRLS (AND BOYS) WITH GUITARS

Jan. 27


I held my first guitar class on the 16th. As you can see by the photos, the students were EXCITED!  They waved and shouted, "Hi, Richie!"


We meet Mondays and Wednesdays during the lunch break. I can already see/hear some of them getting their fingers coordinated and pressing hard enough to make all the strings sound.


Now that gas for the car is more readily available, I hope to be able to get to the store to buy the other guitars.


Fun times!
