chimwemwe footprints project

This is a recently developed project initially to promote friendship,goodwill and cultural tolerance between Adelaide SA and the village of Makuluni of the Mulanje district of Malawi. The motto 'small steps,big dreams,giant feats' hopefully conveys the desire of those involved to highlight the importance of doing 'something' rather than 'nothing', however small (and at times clumsy)the beginnings. It is ultimately about dedication to making the world a better, more socially just society.

"...Have been waiting for the network at work to send village photos...very frustrating...will see if we get connected tomorrow...Did i tell you about the old woman who demanded people should let her go with her shoes to the grave? She said this was her first pair and she wouldn't afford to leave them behind...not my grandma, another little old lovely bird of the village - she wants to show God her shoes and thank HIM for allowing her a pair of shoes before going home...So many stories...the technology is revolting...you'll love the photo...some children crying afraid of the shoes and some excited..."
