No More Saying Someday. We are always getting ready to live but never living. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. For Friends and Family. Peace Corps' Coverdell World Wise. Schools links my experience to your classroom, bringing the Peace Corps Malawi way of life straight to your students. I believe it's important for kids in the United States to see at least a glimpse of the rest of the world, so I will provide regular correspondence (probably once a month) and as much supplementary material as possible.

No More Saying Someday. We are always getting ready to live but never living. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. For Friends and Family. Thursday, July 10, 2014. I wrote this blog at the end of last year, trying to force myself through a transition that I was not ready to make. It's been nearly a year since I left Malawi, and I still dream about it and yearn for it. But now, finally, I feel secure in my happiness once again. Why? Is it where my mother lives, or my father? Home became somewhat an obligation for me as ...

No More Saying Someday. We are always getting ready to live but never living. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. For Friends and Family. Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Random thoughts on the United States of America after a 27 month absence and residence in a small African village:. The stereotype that Americans are fat is more true than I thought. I couldn’t eat much for the first several days I was back in California because I was so intimidated by the sheer gluttony. My meals happen too fast here. Miley Cyrus is disapp...

No More Saying Someday: My Last Village Meal
http://melissainmalawi.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-last-village-meal.html
No More Saying Someday. We are always getting ready to live but never living. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. For Friends and Family. Friday, September 27, 2013. My Last Village Meal. It was fitting that my last meal in the village was in the same home. Mrs Chinombo was adamant that I must have kandawoli, or cassava nsima, before I left, and, as usual, she insisted that I cook it. This resulted, as usual, in her cooking me lunch as I played with children and took pictures. What? Combining flour with boiling water.

No More Saying Someday. We are always getting ready to live but never living. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. For Friends and Family. Sunday, June 30, 2013. White People Scare Me Now. I remind myself that this is a strange culture for foreigners to adapt to (yea, I think, but they’re not even trying! I remind myself that I have been absent from the first world for a long while (yea, I think, but was I ever this rude? I heard a funny one yesterday, a man says: Gift. I don’t understand, replies a woman. Frequently p...

No More Saying Someday. We are always getting ready to live but never living. -Ralph Waldo Emerson. For Friends and Family. Thursday, July 18, 2013. Below you is the valley of the Umzimkulu, on its journey from the Drankensberg to the sea; and beyond and behind the river, great hill after great hill; and beyond and behind them, the mountains of Ingeli and East Griqualand. I read this passage, from Cry, the Beloved Country. Sunset over the Chilumba Lakeshore. On the Edge of Glory. VERY Fancy for Malawi.
