food for thought

while i collect my thoughts and begin to back track in order to bring others up to speed with activities of the past 6 months, you might like to have a look at some other sites which have significance for us. One is a broadcast which was shown on Date line (SBS) in November 2007 regarding "Africa's Deadly Brain Drain - Malawi'. This is included not to condemn or criticise those who choose to leave Malawi to pursue their medical /health care profession, but to give some insight into the conditions of the health care setting and the area of the Mulanji district. The other clip shows a Malawian gospel singer by the name of Allan Ngumuya, singing "Chimwemwe", the Chichewa ( official language of Malawi spoken by 57% of the population) word for "happiness". It is also a very popular girls name!
