End of Day 1



Hello from Malawi. We are wrapping up our first full day. It was a very busy day. We started with the VBS and then took a trip into the city of Lilongwe to experience the culture of Malawi. Visiting the city and experiencing Malawian culture was an amazing experience. We visited a very busy open market, purchased a live chicken for ABC and crossed a river on a bridge hand made out of wood planks and tree limbs. We rode to the city on public transportation which was a minivan jammed pack with passengers. It was quite the experience.

Malawi is one of the poorest countries in Africa. It is very evident everywhere you look. Despite the poverty and the challenges the country faces, its people are very friendly.

Below are some pictures from today's VBS. I will add some pictures from our visit to the City tomorrow.
