The Road to Malawi.
So we're not there yet, but it has been an incredible learning experience thus far. We have encountered many obstacles with school, with ethical regulations, with money, with housing, with places to volunteer, etc. but it is coming together. I am so proud to say that we have created this project on our own (with tons of help from Daisy's Eye Cancer Fund and Raising Malawi). We couldn't have organized this project without any of the people at this organization, but really the four of us have put in A LOT of hard work, late nights, endless writing and researching , and tears into this project.
I think the most important thing we have learned thus far is how to navigate through all the systems that exist for this type of project. With this experience, I know that we will be prepared for the next time we each do real research. I think this has given us the confidence to make things work even though most days seems like one step forward and two steps back.
At this time, while we are all off in different places, I would like to thank Shohini, Tanya, and Kim for being a part of this incredible team... the Fabulous Four as some call us. Cheers to Malawi.
PS: example: we really dont have enough money to stay at hostels and things every night. Know anyone we can stay with? hmmm..
yay!
