football

I thought I'd bring some footballs over to Malawi as gifts to say thanks for having me to all the people I've met along the way.

I only had one left and as we were driving through a village, we spotted this group of kids who were playing with a ball made up from plastic bags. We gave them this one which caused loads of excitement.

They politely endured ten minutes of watching me painfully try to play and then got on with the game in hand.

All the parents of the village came out to say thank you and one of them turned out to be a lady we'd met on an irrigation project we'd visited earlier that day, which made it doubly special.

Lovely Malawian lady and me. The end of another great day.

Hi dougal

Looks like you're having a fantastic time. Thanks for these blogs, keeping us all updated. And well done on you for giving them a football. That really must have made their year.
