PICS- MIE Students & Catholic Church Choir

On July 1st, we met some college students who we are sponsoring.  They go to MIE (Malawi Institute of Education) and are earning a degree to teach teachers. They wouldn't have this opportunity if we weren't helping them.  We are paying for their tuition, but they are responsible for rent and food. 

Radford is sponsoring the man on the left, VT is sponsoring the women and NC A & T is sponsoring the man on the  right who is focusing on math.

On July 2nd after school, we walked to a local Catholic Church because they had planned a performance for us!

Cute kid! 
I love those drums!
Kinda scary costumes!

Brian & Liz got their picture with the choir
Everyone came to watch. The lady in the front right taught us how to do the tongue cheer! 
The professors were thanking them and giving them $

The kids are amused by anything and everything we do
Starting the walk back
beautiful path & scenery 
These were my two buddies that walked back with me. Such smart and polite boys.  I gave them some goodies from my backpack.
