I can't believe June 13 is almost here. Up until a couple of days ago I was cramming for my exams and had almost forgotten about the fact that I would soon be leaving the country. We met with Dr. Hart, the President of LLU, to talk about our business leg of the trip. Hearing the details about Rwanda, the genocide and all the politics involved, made it feel very real. Our involvement over there is still to be decided, but at least I have my itinerary for Malawi. Here's what I'll be up to over there:
Leave Wednesday, June 13 - Arrive in Lilongwe Friday, June 15
Saturday, June 16 - Church and rest
Sunday, June 17 - Hospital tour at Malamulo, prep for VBS, Health Fair and Hospital Projects
Monday, June 18 - Malamulo Health Fair and VBS
Tuesday, June 19 - Hospital improvement projects and VBS

Thursday, June 21 - Community Health Dept. lectures, VBS, and Community Health supplement distribution
Friday, June 22 - Hospital improvement projects, Makwasa Market, and VBS
Saturday, June 23 - Church, rest, hike
Sunday, June 24 - Visit to Mt. Mulanje, hiking and swimming
Monday, June 25 - Health screenings at Malamulo community and the school
Tuesday, June 26 - Health lectures and tour at Blantyre hospital, orphanage visit, health lectures and cooking demonstrations
Wednesday, June 27 - Health Fair at BAH in Blantyre

During the majority of the health lectures, I'll give presentations on the benefits of rest and sleep as well as lead out in the chair massages. All those massages my mom used to make me give her have totally prepared me for this!
Your prayers and messages have meant a lot to me so far. Continue to pray for me and the other students.
au revoir!
