Walking to school


I believe I recall yesterday’s blog entries involving both a story from the US, and an attempt to get readers to vote on my beard. Clearly some genuine African material has been lacking, and thus today's entries are meant to fill the void.

John Laston is a form 1 student (and our outstanding goal keeper) who I decided deserved an entry because of his commute to school. He walks over 2 hours (each way) to school everyday. When I asked him what time he left yesterday morning, he told me quarter past 4.

Another student, Chama, who is in form 2 walks from an equally impressive distance from the opposite direction of MCV. He has the benefit of being on the way from Mangochi however, and so we often pick him up on the way, and he usually gets a ride home.

If we send the money, can you buy this child a bike? That is a lot of walking time.
