Hello all! Not sure how many people still read this blog as I haven't been able to keep it up to date much as our internet access is few and far between!
I have posted a video on our site and pictures as well (under photo gallery). Feel free to check it out! Click on the right to be linked to our website.
Daniel and I seem to be busier with each passing week! This week is preparation for the "Hope for AIDS" (the project that I mentioned earlier that I am helping with) Peer Prevention Training that is starting next week for 2 weeks! 35 youth are coming from different villages to the Bible College close to us and will be in training sessions to learn how they can discuss with their peers topics of HIV/AIDS prevention! It's very exciting. It is just amazing to me how little HIV/AIDS education happens here...especially in the villages. 1 in 6 people have HIV/AIDS here in Malawi. Education is is life-altering. With all that said, we are expecting great things in the next 2 weeks.
October is proving to be a very jammed-packed month. October 30th-31st I will be traveling to a village called Ngabu. Ngabu is the newest location for "Hope for AIDS" orphan care program! SO EXCITING!! Before the program launches there is much training to be done. 2 weeks of training has already happened for the 30 volunteers in this village and towards the end of October there will be a 2 week training time for the 4 teachers. I will be teaching and training them on the topics of lesson planning and learning styles, child development, as well as the importance of establishing a good learning environment/classroom. It should all be very interesting as the probability of all 4 of the teachers having a highschool education is highly unlikely. It will be very basic teaching/training. I'm reminded that all the training they need will be enough to give the basic love and care to these Ngabu orphans that have been left behind due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Please pray for me as I prepare for this training time!

I'm sure the spotty internet can be very annoying! Please let me know if you ever want me to post something on your blog for you. Like if you want me to take the videos you post on your Malawi blog and put them on this blog. I could easily do that for you. Just let me know and get me your log in information! I posted the video on my blog b/c it's so amazing! Was that your talented husband who put it together?
isn't it sort of unbelievable to realize how little education there is about something that it seems like we hear all about over here. Has it really sunk in that you are THERE and it's happening? Unbelievable - i'm excited to hear more!
Love reading about all you are able to do there! So excited for you and we are praying for you two and all the little ones God is having you imapct.
