What is needed in Malawi?

Greetings!!

My heart is filled with gratitude. Many of you are asking what to bring that is helpful and needed? Please know that I am in the process of getting answers for you. In about a week I will post a blog about the things that are critically needed in the village that you can bring if you wish.

Please know that you are under no obligation to bring anything. Your undertaking of this journey is an incredible gift to me and to the people of Tukombo (village where we will stay).

I am finding it hard to have the words that can convey my gratitude that you are all coming on this journey. We are building a bridge that will last for many generations. It is a bridge of love, dance, conversation, stories, tears, songs and breaking bread. This bridge is not built with things, it is built by our connection to each other.

Stay tuned for the list! When the list is posted and if you decide to bring something please keep in mind luggage weight restrictions.

gratitude and blessings, Masankho

Hi all of you!
When I have gone to Mexico before (and when Ray went to Tanzania some years ago,) we took one smallish suitcase for each of us and one bigger one which we filled with school supplies, nice toys, some clothes, etc. Then we either gave the suitcase away with the stuff or brought it back with some craft things (baskets, cloth, etc.) from the country in it. Any ideas on whether this would be a good idea for the Malawi trip?
peace,
Linda clare
