What's Happening...
Mary's Meals

the children of Nansato School every day for 3 years. We have now extended
this to 5 years. Donations are ongoing.

Umodzi Newsletter
The Umodzi newsletter is produced in Malawi, edited and designed
by Kondwani H. Chamwala for the Likhubula-Dunblane Partnership. Each issue
contains many photographs and features on the Partnership's projects in
English and Chichewa. The latest edition of Umodzi (which means
'Unity') can now be downloaded in PDF form by clicking here.
You can still download the previous edition here.
(Each issue is a file of about 450KB which will take 3 minutes or so to
download over a dial-up link. But it's worth the wait!)
