Have we changed, or has the Ilala?
..definitely not the Ilala. This steamer, which was built in the 1940s and runs a single route on Lake Malawi has changed little since it first hit the water I think. In fact, we are the ones who have changed. We seem to no longer have tolerance for 21 hour ship rides with only a [...]
Sapitwa….tapita!
We made it to the top! At 9am last Thursday, Nori and I were the highest people in Malawi! We had an amazing 5 day trip around Mulanje and decided to summit the highest peak about half way through the trip. Even though at several points in the trek I had the thought, “man this [...]
The smells, the sights, the sounds
I arrived safely in Malawi. I have already gone to shopright, Malawi’s 7-11, and Ali Baba’s for peri-peri chicken pizza. Not sure what to do now.

I think I am going to be sick….
Because I will have so many meetings with the incoming BBP staff and with BBP’s CBO and NGO partners in Mae Sot before I leave, I have only a total of 8 days left working at the Mae Tao Clinic Counseling Center. I realized this only now and at present am having heart palpitations. Whoa. [...]
