A sombre start buying a wreath at the coffin shop. When
we arrived on site John and Margaret presented it, with some financial
contributions to the bereaved family and knelt and paid their respects in the
African fashion.
Then building until 11am when we left site to allow the
funeral ceremony to take place under a large fig tree.
A stunning afternoon visiting 8 occupied houses paid for
by Touchstone, including Estina and Regina's house in Dyson village.
Was fantastic to meet up again with Estina
and Regina and their immediate and wider families and friends and very, very
emotional for John.
We met the village chief, unusually a lady, who is Royalty
in Malawi and she immediately remembered John from last year. And burst out
laughing!!!
Visit to the school and CBO tomorrow morning then back on
the build.
