We had another football game last weekend. Palmland Secondary School requested a friendly match on Friday, since all the Coca-Cola Trophy games had been cancelled. We played on Saturday. We walked to the field because the big truck is currently broken (again). The game was at 2:00 African as usual. (it was 3:45 when Palmland showed up). Palmland didn't have a netball team, to the disappointment of the girls. Our football team was up 2-0, but Palmland came back and tied it with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes. We ended with a disappointing 2-2 draw.
At school I've started teaching my form 2 kids about probability. I was shocked to discover that they haven't learned anything about probability before. (Kids start learning probability in the 4th or 5th grade in the states).
There have been two more MCV funerals in the last week. A library worker named Gradice lost her husband, and one of the welders (who's working on the desks) lost his 3 year old daughter.
Sibale mentioned at breakfast this morning, that he is worried about how much money MCV spends just on transport to funerals.
Everywhere I go I continue to exchange shouts with children:
children: Azungu, Azungu!
To which I pleasantly shout back: Malawian!
