It was very pleasant traveling in Malawi on this trip, thanks in part to Katie and Jarrod Schafer. They were finishing up a 5 month, first-time, trip to Malawi and asked if we wanted to buy the car they had used. Jarrod knows a lot about these things and really found a great deal on a car while they were there. We jumped at the chance to buy it, used it while we were there, and then donated it to the Namikango Mission and Maternity Clinic in Thondwe when we got ready to return to the states. Mark Thiesen, at the Mission, has consented for us to use the car when we are in country in the future so it is a win-win situation for everyone.
The contact with Katie started when she was 17-years-old and wrote to us to learn about Malawi for a school Project. That interest and communication continued through the years and this year, at 25 Katie was able to fulfill her dream of going to Malawi.
