We worked hard today, and everyone is tired, so this will just be a quick post. At Patuma’s house, Team Kari was able to get one of the outside gable walls done, two window frames in, and make significant progress on the inside walls. At Rajabu’s house, Team Jerod finished one of the outside gable walls and the front wall with the window.
We had a team backrub when we got back to our hotel. And the good news for today is that our 2 lost bags finally arrived (5 days after we did). Tomorrow we will start a bit earlier, so we can quit early and go to the market, where we hope to find some Malawian material used for skirts, or as they call them, wrappers.
Usiku wabwino,
Kari

Kari and All –
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures in these posts and pictures. I am envious of the time you are sharing building life-long memories, meeting new people from a new culture and, yes, even the hard work! Your pictures speak a thousand words. Know that your family and friends back home are thinking of you every day and I, in particular, can’t wait until you are home and can hear (and see) about all of your adventures.
Laura, we miss you but know that you are having an experience of a lifetime, so make the most of it!
To All – stay well and enjoy every minute.
Love – Leah (Laura’s mom)
PS – Go team Kari! (Just had to put in plug for my daughter’s team 🙂 )
