Coverage Expands Extensively
During the past year the Malawi Project has seen quite an extension in its outreach to new sites in the nation of Malawi. This has led to increased.jpg)
opportunities, and has also seen some of the original sites become independence from continued Project support. As was planned from the inception of the Project, each year sees more of the programs spawned by the Project gain their footing and move to or toward an independent course. At the same time new programs and sites continue to come on line.
To reflect the new sites a new map is being posted in the "About Malawi" section that will identify some of the new locations where new programs are now under way.
In coming weeks two members of the Board of Directors will travel to all three of the regions of Malawi in order to identify and prepare new sites to being receiving humanitarian aid.
Recently a team of church leaders from Noblesville, Indiana, which included two members of the Malawi Project, spent several days in Malawi doing site evaluations and interviews with local church leaders concerning the establishment of an international school in the country. Additional meetings were then held in Indiana with administrative leadership from the Sunset International School in Lubbock, Texas in order to evaluate the progress toward the goal of the establishment of the school.
It can be a Crowning Gem
"The establishment of this international school, as well as the new sites that are coming on line this year are quite exciting," says Scott Gordon, one of the newest board members and Treasurer for the Malawi Project. After he returned from the recent trip to Malawi Gordon was able to conclude, "This school will be a crowning gem to all of the work that the Project team has been doing in the country. We are really pleased to see these developments and we look forward to its success in coming months and years. The school is expected to be able to train leaders and help people to learn trades in a way that nothing else has been able to do."
