Back up to Malawo!

A few of us headed back up to Malawo last week, to check on how projects are moving along, and to gather a few photos of the roofing project.



These two kids were running around all day with the footie pajamas... they were cracking me up!


I think this may be my new favorite picture I have taken.

The younger class in the Malawo school, approximately 40 kids.


Breakfast time! Rice, beans and chicken.. the best I have ever had!


While we were enjoying our rice and bean breakfast, this man was roasting his bush rats he had caught... when I was asking him how they tasted, he said they were "sweet meat! Don't you eat these in the States????" I just smiled and said no. He asked if I wanted to try some, but I told him next time I come... so I better be ready!


Jusu, SP Ministry Staff, also works on zincing all the roofs in Malawo. Great guy!



And after the rats were roasted, the very same family was cooking up this pot of grasshoppers in palm oil! No joke... I've seen them fried before, but never boiled. Yummy?!

Looks like the eating is good up on the mountain! :) But seriously the footie pajams are hilarious! Who knew you could climb trees in those things!

They eat rat in Nigeria, too! Crazy! Looks like a continued great experience!

Your pictures are awesome! I'll look forward to one showing you eating 'sweet' rat meat, I believe I'll pass. Blessings to all! Keep up the good work! Tom
