Besides working with primary school kids at Chitete Primary school, over the past three months and some weeks, I have spent my time interacting and working with Chitete women. I must confess that my stay in this community has been quite amazing so far, and indeed this is my other home. My early days in the community saw me encountering various remarkable works by these women in this community, from a young mother who is taking advantage of the Out of School Initiative (OOSC) to reshape her future through free education provided by our development partner, buildOn to an old woman who caught my attention by cultivating a quite big piece of land that probably is above her strength all by herself. All in all I must say, these women are focused, hard-working, humble, energetic and development-hungry. I have been involved in a series of few meetings with these women on various topics like that of Agriculture, entrepreneurship, house-keeping, sanitation and education.  Day to day life fo

  Hello there, I am back after a long while, I would like to share about Malawi waters! The rising water levels of Lake Malawi, also fondly known as the Lake of Stars, present a complex challenge that intertwines environmental, social, and economic implications. Historical data indicates that the current levels are the highest in over a decade, and brings with it significant implications for local communities, energy generation, and the broader ecosystem for Malawi. As we empathize with the citizens of Mangochi, Salima, Nkhatabay, and other affected districts, it is crucial to understand the multifaceted impact of this natural phenomenon. The increased water levels, as already evidenced, pose a serious threat to lakeshore properties, including tourism establishments that are vital to the local economy and a critical component of the ATM strategy. As I write, thousands of people are displaced and a lot more will soon be, properties of great financial proportion and value has been destro

Today, I would like to look back and appreciate the experience I had whilst volunteering with CorpsAfrica. I will try to make it more visual and keep the writings short. It has surely been an amazing ride, full of wonderful encounters and great challenges that has changed my life completely. I hope you will enjoy the pictures and the stories behind them. I have tried to let every picture or at least a chunk of them tell a story but briefly. Here's to my CorpsAfrica Volunteering experiences!  "I believe that Individuals can make a difference in society. Since periods of change such as the present one come so rarely in human history, it s up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world" Dalai Lama First and foremost, allow me to appreciate and thank one of the amazing woman I have ever met, Liz Fanning. Liz founded CorpsAfrica  in 2011 after her Peace Corps service in Morocco. CorpsAfrica is as it is today because of her a
