We are working closely with Margaret Nandoli, our new Malawian In-Country Director (read more about her below), to establish these three programs. We have five widowed women waiting in the wings to begin our pilot program of skill training and business support. We have already started assisting students with their school fees and have many more waiting for funds. We also held some informal writing and drawing sessions that were hugely popular with the children and youth.

We desire to launch these programs in early 2006, but are dependent on your assistance to do so. We have the connections, we have the people, we have the plan, and we have the volunteers. Now we just need the funds.
