Someone has just pointed out that I seem to have an obsession with clean clothes..... can I just say that I posted the same message twice as I thought the first one had been screened out because of 'pants'... Hope you get some food soon guys.

SHOWERS!!? VOLLEYBALL? Presumably there are some clouds of mosquitoes and a nearby swamp? You were kept awake by howling hyenas? You can see vultures circling over the area where your colleagues set out through the bush to forage for food?

This pants thing seems to be getting out of hand. I'm with the 91热爆. Pants should be censored. Food. Now that IS interesting. Casserole of warthog? Ostrich steaks with boiled yams and a side of paw-paw? Please dont tell us there is a Domino's Pizza just over the street.... If there is - I dont wish to know...

It would appear that parental concerns about pants are unfounded because I read on the Mabuya Camp website that, "If you need your clothes washing, we have some lovely ladies to do it for you." An Omo/sink search would not appear to be necessary.

Clean clothes. Now you want them to have food too, Sandy's mum (and others)? What next?!! Toilet paper?! # When daughter went hiking up continental divide, it was take in and haul out, no footprint. As they did not want to take out their toilet paper they made do with leaves etc. Hopefully they have the Malawi Times at the IHS in Africa camp: should come in handy. # Showers: sounds positively decadent. Tip: assuming that the pipes carrying the water are above ground, even without water heater, it's possible to have a hot shower late afternoon if one does not dally. First come, first served ... # And if the food scouting team does not come back on time, remember: lizards!! # y'all have fun working hard.

"Have a great time, work hard!" Sandy's mum. I chuckled when I read it. I send those exact words to daughter at uni., and I am glad to see that I am not the only parent who does not see any contradiction in the juxtaposition - but quite the contrary.

Hi one and all, hope all is well and that you are all having the best time eve.
diane,bridgend from islay
The young folks from Islay are going out to Malawi, Mr. Ratburn, to learn, have fun and help. # "We yanks would die in a poor country like that.". No comment, Mr. Ratburn - or I just might burst/bust a gasket. # The Islay students are very adventurous and lucky to have a supportive group of adults/parents. I am sure they will be better citizens/persons as a result of the experience.
