Okay well today is the 3rd June and I have only 6 and a half weeks remaining at Maveya. An absolutely devostating thought i know! Over the last month i've climbed Mount Mulanje and chilled at the lake, visited my friends who are working in an orphan village and spent a lot of time with my friends at home.

Time, however, is just slipping by so fast and i cannot catch it. It's really depressing! I really am trying my best to make use of every moment i have left!

School life is as hectic as usual. At the moment we are in prepararion for a national education festival day which will be held on the 19th July (the day before me and Clare leave!). There is traditional dancing led my Mathias where the girls dance around in a circle and sing a lovely little song in chichewa. There is also going to be singing from the choir (I have decided to join the choir rather than lead it and am currently trying to learn some really difficult songs!), we've got drama groups and also poetry reading apparently! Its going to be a lovely day and a nice way to finish i think!

The headteacher is still up to his old tricks though things have reached a somewhat more serious note. Mike disappeared yesturday after telling me he was going out for half an hour and was not around at all today either. Nobody knows where he is, including the deputy head. There is some issue about some mattresses donated by volunteers that he has sold and kept the money for himself so i think he is in a bit of trouble!

Eesh i have got to rush off! Will write again next week!
