Greetings of peace and love!!

the days are getting closer and the excitement is building. I was just in Minneapolis for UBBH and 12 of us who are going to Malawi were there. I continue to pinch myself everyday.

There are many questions and over the coming weeks I will respond to them here.

Phones in Malawi. Most US cell phone companies now have worldwide service and quite a few even have agreements with Malawi's two cell phone companies; Telcom and Celtel. Please check with your provider to see if your service works in Malawi. If it does please be sure to check what the rates are so that you don't come back to huge cell phone bills.
The other option is to see if you have a tri or quad band phone. If you do, you can bring your phone to Malawi and put in a sim card from one of the Malawi companies and with a calling card you can call home for very reasonable rates and you can also receive calls from the United States.
I will have a phone with a local Malawi number and with a US number that folks can receive calls on.
I hope this answers any questions you may have about phones. If you have any other questions about phones please let me know.

What will be our accomodations in your village. Do I need to bring my favorite pillow with me (kidding)or will all that be arranged?
