On the recent visit to our partner church at Engcongolweni, Robin, Nan and I were staying at Ekwendeni, 6 kilometres away. At Ekwendeni, Nicholas Chihana is the Headteacher at the Primary School. Nicholas was one of the group who visited Dalgety Bay last Autumn. The school and community there is supported by Mary’s Meals – a project of Scottish International Relief. SIR has a charity shop in Inverkeithing which has been involved in the project in Ekwendeni. By providing “school meals” attendance and therefore education levels have noticeable increased. You can read more about Mary’s Meals at: www.marysmeals.org – just £6.15 can feed a child for a year!

Before you speak, listen
Before you write, think
Before you spend, earn
Before you decide, investigate
Before you criticize, wait
Before you pray, forgive
Before you quit, try
Before you retire, save
Before you die, repent
These words are stuck to the wall at the HIV/Aids Voluntary Counselling and Testing, Youth Project in Ekwendeni, Malawi.

Sunday in Engcongolweni: Rev Peter Mhlanga assured me that 15 minutes preaching would not be enough! With translation into Tambuka it was about 40 minutes. Whole service time was nearly 3 and a half hours!
Monday – Good meetings with the Northern Water Board. All progressing very well – just need several thousands more…
Tuesday – Spend the morning with Baxtor, HT at Engcongolweni Primary School. Helped him set up computer with mobile internet access. Currently if he wants to send an email he writes it by hand, gets a cab into Mzuzu, 10+ kilometers away, pays for internet time (minimum 30 minutes), and pays someone to type it for him. Amazing to be with him as he checked his email in Encongolweni… This will help the partnership considerably to be able to get communications. Tomorrow will be with Baxtor and his sons again – to show them how to take, transfer and send digital pictures…
Tomorrow, Wednesday will be visiting two small communities within Peter’s parish…and then visiting former minister Rev Joshua Nyangulu who had visited Dalgety Bay last Autumn. Trip all going wonderfully well…

The work on the manse at Engcongolweni is progressing well. The minister, the Rev Peter Mhlanga and his family could move in by the end of August – subject to funds being available to pay the contractors. We will have final figures in the next few days

Monday: Really encouraging meetings regarding water project. Northern Water Board of Malawi could complete the project in around 2 months bringing clean water, therefore better health and more development to Engcongolweni. Next Monday we’ll have final quote…
