Project Malawi – Latest News
Library Books Required
In 2004 the group from Whiteabbey and Dun Laoghaire set up a library at the Primary School and in 2006 a group helped with further work on the library. More books are needed. The sort of books which would be useful are single volume encyclopedias, picture dictionaries, ordinary dictionaries, Good New Bibles, Bible Story books, simple science books, Ladybird Books (especially those which are not too ‘European’ orientated). C@WPC has been collecting such books.
Containers for Malawi
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland sends containers of educational and health materials on a regular basis. Whiteabbey has privided dental and educational materials for Mulanje through this scheme.
Groups from Belfast Royal Academy
As part of their 'work experiance' programme a large group of students and teachers went to Mulanje in February 2009 to see and experience life and work in Malawi. A similar group went in 2008.
Renovation of teachers houses
The renovation of two houses has been completed and two further houses have been started. The standard of renovation is high with each house now having piped water and electricity. The cost of renovating one house is about £5,000 and over the next year Whiteabbey would like to continue with this very worthwehile project.
