Group Visits
May 13, 2008 by Vicky
Towards the end of 2007 St. Peter’s School, Exeter, through a generous donation from a parent of a student at the school, sponsored a visit to UK of one teacher and four students from All saints’ Secondary School. They were hosted by families in Exeter and Plymouth.
In 2008 St. Peter’s School will again visit to continue their work with All Saints’ School and to be involved in a range of activities in the local community.
Two groups of supporters, mainly from St Andrew’s Church, Plymouth, will be visiting in June/July to carry out a number of tasks including working at the Hospital, with both primary and secondary schools, at the NRU and with the orphans.
In 2009 Wrekin College again plan to visit, and Sedbergh School in Cumbria are planning a trip.
Such visits are of enormous value to the Mtunthama community, and without doubt those who participate return with a much greater understanding of third world problems and their possible solutions

Packing the container
September 8, 2007 by Vicky
A big thank you to everyone who helped in the preparing and packing of the container, now on its way to Malawi.
Unfortunately we weren’t able to get the Land Rover into container, despite the valient efforts of the packing team, who tried all sorts of ways to it into a position where it could be driven on. Nevertheless we were still able to fill the container to the brim with hospital equipment, NRU supplies, school equipment and clothes.
