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.

COOL RUNNINGS, SENGA BAY, SALIMA

My room

Unfortunately, I could not find a single shell on the beach :(

My table for breakfast and supper.
Lizard Island (I didn't get there)
Relaxing :)
Sunset beginning at Senga Bay
All day long I saw people washing clothes
and having baths in the lake.

A good place to relax when it got too windy by the beach.


















Yes, dugout canoes!



These boys came running up when they saw my camera
and begged me to take their picture.
I couldn't say no, could I!




Prickly hedge-type plants make an ideal security fence.

Follow the happy faces to find Cool Runnings!


Butterfish--delish!

The cloud rolled in, the rollers began, and then the wind BLEW!

Off to Mozambique
