a trip to Washington and Alaska, PAPA, and Malawi. It’s been almost 3 years I since made the rounds and visited my college friends, so this seemed like a good time to do it. Woo hoo! I’m pretty excited about it! In the meantime, the huge, daunting task I’m facing is compiling and editing the music for our PAPA show this summer. It’s a bigger job this year and I’ve got less time to get it done. Good thing I don’t have a regular day job.
And finally, there’s Malawi. I’ve been reading a lot, studying Chichewa (no, it isn’t one of those African languages with clicking), and putting together a packing list. We’re only allowed to take 80 pounds worth of stuff, so space in my bags will be extremely limited. If you feel like giving me something, all I want is a connection with everybody back home. I’d love pictures (digital is great) or music (burn me a CD or something) to take with me and snail mail once I’m there. I’ll post later with tips about mailing stuff to Malawi. Thanks in advance for helping me maintain my sanity on the other side of the world!

Hi there! My husband Kris and I have just accepted an invitation to Malawi leaving in September as well! I assume this means we will meet in a few months. We are very excited as well. I am not sure if there is a way to meet others in our cohort early but I thought it was amazing to find one!
