Kim's Ramblings: April 2008
http://kim-thomas.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 April 2008. Kim's Parents in Malawi! My parents recently descended upon Malawi. While I don’t think either of them could have imagined that they’d ever visit the African continent, my being here served as enough of an incentive to draw them over! Photo 1 – Khala and I whipping up dinner. Photo 2 – Mum and Dad’s first nsima. Photo 3 – Dad showing off: no hands! The village stay was quite fantastic. Too short, but my parents did get a good taste of Malawian village life. The whole family...We sp...

Long story short, I made the decision to move out at 10pm at night, and had moved out by 7am the next morning. On Sunday for our first quarter training. It was quite a nice spot – a beach, ...

http://kim-thomas.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 7 May 2008. A glimpse into my every day life. The details of my day to day life here are different from what I’m used to in Canada, but not to the degree most people probably think. At the end of the day, I’m doing the same kind of stuff – it’s just the details that are different. I crawl out from under my mosquito net on my foam mat on the basic wooden frame bed I had made by a nearby carpenter. 8221; indicating the vehicle’s final destination (the bus station in “old town”). Up a little furt...
