Day of Preparation

Today was a nice relaxing day. Jane and I ventured out for grocery supplies and knitting needles. It was really nice to get out and see the different changes in the city since my last visit and show Jane some awesome sights. We walked towards the large Mosque where you can hear the calls to prayer. We also saw the vegetable market and the river. I think right now Jane is still in awe of everything because it is so new and different. It is wonderful to see everything through fresh eyes again. 

I have also started looking for Malawi Soccer jerseys for a couple friends back home and it is suprisingly difficult. Many people with soccer jerseys had them for other countries, I was hoping there would be more Malawian pride. 

Tomorrow we are meeting with one of our first groups, the Chisomo group. We will have a bunch of pictures of them with the knitting machine and so of the products they made with it. I'm looking forward to hearing about them selling the items and speaking more with students about HIV/AIDS.

I'm also working on knitting a bunch o new swatches from inspirations I saw at Stitches South about a week ago. 

So far the trip has been great!!
