Take me back to the Warm Heart of Africa, Malawi!

Once again I am on my way back to Malawi, the warm hear of Africa to work with HIV/AIDS individuals teaching them knitting as Knit Around the World. I'm very lucky to have a good friend join me on this trip, Ashley. This will be her first time in Africa so I'm sure it will be a very exciting and information adventure. Our day of traveling has been very exhausting, we were on the receiving end of a downpour in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia when switching planes. We have received a lot of donations of yarn and knitting needles which will be really helpful. We look foward to working with the groups this week and the next. As it is Sunday most shops are closed so we are enjoying some of the food that we brought with us. 
Tomorrow is a big day where we are going to meet with the Executive DIrector of the Lighthouse Program at Kamuzu Hospital (as mentioned in a previous post). Hopefully this meeting will turn out really well and will allow us to form a partnership and give us another chance to expand and work with more individuals. 
Here is a beautiful picture of the Malawi flag flying in the wind:
