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.

(VIDEO SET #2) FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Video taken my first days in Malawi.
More to come...

 
First Morning
 
 
First Chapel
Daily 7:10 a.m. chapel/assembly (20 min).
This is the first minute, as students are just arriving.
Classes begin at 7:30 a.m. and go until 3:20 p.m. (with an hour and a half break at midday)
 
 
 
Likhubula to Blantyre
Arnold drove me into town my first day to take care of some things.
My most important item that day: a fan for my room: 30+degrees and 80-100% humidity!
 
Driving through Chirimba market--near Likhubula.
Chirimba market is much, much bigger than little Likhubula's.
 
 
Me singing at chapel for the first time.
I gave a short devotional (and usually sang) every Thursday morning.
 
The drive from Likhubula market to the Blantyre airport.
Arnold drove me to the airport to pick up my guitar the day after I arrived in Malawi.
Note: This is driving in the opposite direction from the Likhubula-Blantyre video.
