Only 20 days till I skip off to Malawi, its come round so fast! I've just set up this blog so that everyone can keep track of what I'm up to throughout my time in Malawi. All being well i should be able to use the internet once a week!
In true Katie Mackay style i have obviously left everything till the last minute and have soooo much still to get but it'll all be right in the end! I'm so excited and a teeny little bit nervous! Lets see how i cope without any running water or electricity! My hair straighteners will definately be a no-go though they may have to be prised out of my hands kicking and screaming as i'm leaving the house on the 5th January...we'll see!
Here's a bit of info about where i am and what i'm doing and things if you don't already know!
Me and Clare are going to be living in the Mulanje area of Southern Malawi. It is a particulary beautiful area of Malawi with the Mulanje mountains and tea plantations. The Primary school i am volunteering in is called the Maveya Primary school. The school serves the population of the Lujeri Tea Estate and is very badly resourced. I really hope that my skills can be put to good use and i can make a strong contribution to the community there!
Eee well that's my first blog over with *sighs with relief*. Wasnt too bad really was it. They will get better in time i'm sure!
