A Visit to Our Village

We often get special treatment as Peace Corps Volunteers in our village, but being the parents of a volunteer puts you in a whole other category! The children were very excited to "escort" them.



The reverend and his wife gave this chitenje (cloth wrap) to Bonnie. She is learning how to wear it. They also cooked an elaborate Malawian dinner for them. Actually, the most food served in a Malawian meal that we have ever seen.



Here Jack and Bonnie are with our Group Village Headman(chief of chiefs). Ours is a woman!



We are learning how rice is husked. They also pound their maize and peanuts like this.

P.S. Not only did they meet a million and a half people in two days, but they also survived the heat!
