Lindsay's Gambian and Malawian Summer. Saturday, June 20, 2009. 14th June - 21st June. This week I returned to work with PIWAMP on my own.

Lindsay's Gambian and Malawian Summer: Meats and treats...
http://lindsayingambiaandmalawi.blogspot.com/2009/07/meats-and-treats.html
Lindsay's Gambian and Malawian Summer. Sunday, July 12, 2009. I have not introduced the local Malawian cuisine yet! Nsima (aka sadza for us Zimbabweans) or rice is usually served with meat and veggies for the lunch/supper meal. If you are really lucky you can snack on the decadent world famous, Mais sur la spear! Also known as Mice on a Stick! This popular treat is sold on the roadsides in cities and towns along the main highways of the country. Posted by L.C. July 16, 2009 at 1:03 AM. 26 May - 6 June.

http://lindsayingambiaandmalawi.blogspot.com/2009/06/reflections-on-smiling-coast.html
Lindsay's Gambian and Malawian Summer. Saturday, June 27, 2009. Reflections on the Smiling Coast. Things I have realized during my time in The Gambia. 1 Proper greetings are of great importance. You shake hands, ask "How was the morning (or other)? Was it with Peace? 2 Everything is done with a peace of mind. 3 Giving your full names are important as there are very common first and last names. 5 Inquisitive culture: wants to know your name, where you are from, where you live, what you do. Tasty if you ar...

Not knowing which course it was that we were taking, I was surpri...

This week I came down to Blantyre to work with the NGO's Hygiene Village and Water for People. Hygiene Village is an extremely small organization with a big heart! The work they do with so few resources and little funds is incredible! Talk about effective management! There are two main types of latrines which they promote: Skyloo and VIP latrines.
