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.

and about the uniforms...

10th May 2010...From Virginia...

"...As you can see, the uniforms of these girls look better than the others, as I am always there for them. I share costs with their parents. i bought a piece of cloth which the parents shared and have the uniforms made for thier children, there are six girls and one of them is a double orphan, no mum, no dad. I only needed 12 meters which costed me around $70 dollars. I paid for the sewing of the orphan's dress.

Let me send part of the inscriptions on the papers in their hands. i had difficulties taking pictures while making the presentations, it was just too much and i missed lots of inspirational scenes!..."
