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.

RIGHT TO PLAY

February 15th

I was shocked and dismayed to discover that these students had not a single piece of sports equipment. Their last ball had worn out, and they had to borrow from another school in order to compete against that school. (By the way: our girls' team is still undefeated this school year!)

It was my absolute joy to present the Kings' Victory Academy students with two new balls for their sports program.

I extend a CHALLENGE to students/teachers/schools in Canada: will YOU donate so that these athletes can get more equipment? Two balls are a start--but much more could be done to help.
