Flew into Lilongwe on Monday and went to the Peace Corps office to meet some people then we drove out to the training center near Dedza and the border of Mozambique. We spent the first two days learning Chichewa and Peace Corps' HIV work. Then we spent two days at a home stay in a nearby village with more Chichewa practice and some focus groups to learn more about how HIV is affecting rural Malawians. We made it back to the training center on Friday in time to watch the first World Cup game and cheer as South Africa scored the first goal. This weekend we are relaxing a little and plan to head to the market this afternoon.
All is well. We will be deciding where we are going tomorrow and will meet out counterparts on Tuesday. I'll write more soon.
