More memories of my parents visit
My mom, Kay Cowan, reading to Sydney's class
My mom and dad kept busy while they were here in Malawi. Not only did they help teach the kids how to ride bikes, they also got involved at school. My mom was Sydney's Teachers "assistant" for a few days. She really enjoyed getting to know the kids in Sydney's class as well as Mrs. Pyman, Sydney's wonderful teacher. The biggest challenge for my mom was probably memorizing all of the kids names. 23 new names like: Aiyana, Amarrah, Blessings, Mlendo, Tiwonge and Yolanda. She did amazingly well, especially since the girls often were changing their hairstyles which makes getting to know all of them even harder.

They also had the opportunity to do some mission work alongside a team from Berean Baptist church in Burnsville, MN. But more about that in the next blog.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I recently returned from a trip to Malawi (see summerdcarolina.blogspot.com). What a beautiful place!
I am interested in learning more about your work there - especially with the women. Please reach out if you have time: summerd@carolina.rr.com.
God bless!
