The Week From Hell - Part Two

No sooner had I recovered from the shock of coming within a high ranking government official's phone call from being deported than my bad luck continued, this time in the form of malaria. I had, earlier in my trip, survived one malaria scare, although this time I was not as fortunate. I did...

The Week From Hell - Part One

Before embarking on this trip I had, given that I would be in Africa for at least a year, already accepted that at some stage or other I would be the victim of theft, I would catch malaria and would more than likely have at least one incident with the authorities. However, I didn't figure...

Becoming A Dharma Bum

I have always been one for the simple life, but having just finished reading The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, a great read for anybody who is interested, I was motivated to see just how basic a life I could live. And so with that in mind I hopped on the Llala, the ferry that services the lake,...

The Mzungu Express

Ever since arriving in Malawi I had been toying with the idea of buying a local bicycle as a means of transport, as well as offering me another medium for fitness. And with the most expensive African bicycle costing a touch under $100 I couldn't resist, and so I am now the proud owner of an...

Weclome to the Village

Having been on the move for the best part of three months my journey through Africa has dropped down a few gears since arriving in Malawi, as I always knew it would. The journey from Lusaka to Lilongwe was interesting to say the least, and it was with a great sense of relief that I made it...

Malawi - Lakes and Locals!

We spent our days waving to the locals from the truck and sleeping under the stars by lake Malawi. This freshwater lake takes up half the country and provides Malawi with its lifestlye. Snorkelling, swimming, drinking and chill'n was the draw of the day. We had dinner in a local village...

The Gule Wamkulu, Baboons, and Homestay: Part One

A little more detailed update on our very busy first three weeks here in Malawi... We spent the first few days in Malawi enjoying Cool Runnings, a lakeside "resort" at Senga Bay on Lake Malawi. Instead of beautiful beach weather, we experienced unseasonal torrential downpours. The sound of...

The Gule Wamkulu, Baboons, and Homestay: Part Two

Our first "real" camp after the refugee camp went so smoothly. The student presentations on the third day drew a large crowd from the community - one of World Camp's main goals to have the students become educators in their own communities, so this big showing was awesome. At the end of the...

The Gule Wamkulu, Baboons, and Homestay: Part Three

Monday was supposed to be the start of our third camp. However, we drove an hour out into the bush, and upon arrival at the school, no students were to be found. The combination of it being a public holiday and also the very recent transfer of the school's headmaster did not help the...

Finally getting our act together

The first two weeks of our trip have come and gone already so we figured it would probably be about time to start our blog. So, here it is! We've spent the past two weeks working with World Camp for Kids in Malawi, Africa. World Camp is a not-for-profit organization committed to empowering...
