A Malawi conversation

Our church today devoted both morning services to Malawi.

We sang in the Malawi language but more importantly had presentations from some of the congregation who have over the years worked there: on reducing cervical cancer; on improving mental health provision; and from someone who spent a year providing GP Services and learned more about being a GP than in 20 years here. And we heard from others who had raised funds for Malawi.

We also had Rev Professor Ken Ross from Argyll and Bute who had spent 11 years there helping to reinforce the strong links between Scotland and the Church of Scotland with Malawi.

My role was to convey the experiences of our daughter who had spent 5 months out in Malawi as a volunteer aged 18. The blip is of of the diplay I put together of her trip. At the top left are my "Happy Pants" which go on holiday with me each time we head for the sun.

An uplifting morning. Followed - on a very wet day - by an afternoon emptying an attic and an evening looking at audit papers and preparing for a visit to Inveraray in the morning.
