Take off

After five months of preparation the departure day has finally arrived. This past week has been such a learning and growing experience for me. I've been forced to think about a lot of important development related issues and question my personal and cultural values and assumptions. I have made some amazing friends, which I will be sad to part with once we have arrived in Malawi.

Our bags are packed and we are ready to start on our journey. We first fly to London, England over night, have a ten hour lay over, then continue to Johannesburg, South Africa, where we board the final plane to Lilongwe, Malawi.
