Malawe and Mozambique

Mariel is the daughter of near neighbors who is deeply religious. Her decision to be involved in mission work took her to Malawi. Her parents sent her a few magnets to distribute for me. This is her comment:

Okay--I was the communications coordinator (PR writer/photographer/designer etc.) for the Society for International Ministries (www.sim.org) in Malawi, which is affiliated with Serving In Mission, which is headquartered in the US but has international leadership. They do AIDS care, orphan care, HIV prevention outreach, and pastoral education, among other things. (They also do food assistance during famines, which occur every several years or so depending on the rains and other factors affecting the corn harvest.) My job was to document all of these things.

Oh, and if I remember correctly, two of your magnets ended up in Blantyre, Malawi, and one in Lichinga, Mozambique.

Here's some boys playing checkers with bottle caps. They live at a home for street children.
