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.

LILONGWE LADIES' TRIP


outskirts of Lilongwe, Malawi's capital city



Lilongwe Pentecostal Church & School
My uncle & aunt pastored (from start-up) here 1985-1988


Relaxing at the Korean Gardens, our hotel/hostel

Grace & Shirley

Me, in relaxation mode :)

Shirley & I gathered a small crowd when we dipped our feet in the pool.  The water was COLD! I was still considering braving the water when Shirley noticed that the pool's bottom wasn't actually painted brown. The pool was dirty! Swim cancelled.

This walking trail in the wildlife park could have been
in Alberta someplace.


Lingadzi River

Crocodiles live here.

The seed pods are used to treat skin rashes.


Our female tour guide also said that some claim these seed pods can also increase a woman's breast size.

and we all played on the playground.
