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 WILDLIFE CENTRE

Grace, Shirley, and I visited the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre last Wednesday (June 13th).
Here are some photos of the animals we saw.




African vervet monkey




scratching what itches




Bush buck --small, like Haida Gwaii's deer

Crocodile smile!

Crocodile toes

I don't remember the names of the 2 in the pen,
but they were about 2 metres long.

I think it means something else to them...



tortoise
(rare now because they tend to become someone's supper)



Python (and his name is Henry, not Monty)


This guy is 5 metres long!




Bella the lioness: a big kitty




Bella was rescued from a Romanian zoo 5 years ago.
She lost an eye to glaucoma.





Her spine and back legs did not develop properly
because of malnutrition.
