So, I am then ahead of the game by writing this post at this time! Mathew Kasonjola, a young man from Malawi, has arrived today in America for a visit with Educate Malawi and some of our good friends and generous sponsors and those who support us! Shannon and I met Mathew on our first trip to Malawi in 2007, and we have remained in contact and built a friendship and relationship ever since. He has assisted us by teaching us about his Country and helping facilitate the projects and programs we have completed in Malawi.
After many trips by Shannon, Stephen and I to Malawi, Mathew has come to Malawi to learn about Educate Malawi in America and what it means to fundraise to accomplish what we have in these passed 6 years. Today, Mathew arrived at JFK to spend 2 months with us....my goal is to share his thoughts and experiences about his time here, with you.

In addition to some fundraising events and experiences, and learning about America and teaching us more about Malawi, Mathew brought more BAGS with him!!
Our first WAFUPI BAG party is this Sunday, June 15 from 1 - 3 p.m. at 342 Southwick Road, A-6, Westfield, MA...and then we are holding a MEET AND GREET with Mathew from 3 - 5 p.m.! Below are a couple of the new bags he brought with him...they are wonderful!! Come enjoy some fun, refreshments and the first chance to attend a Wafupi Bag party!
These bags are made from recycled materials...they look a little like patchwork, and they are each unique! They have a quilted feel to them and a flat bottom for added space.  |
