On Sunday Rev. Dr. Terry McMullan gave us a report about Malawi and Joyce has kindly sent a couple of links to provide some extra background information.
Joyce says, “One is the masks4allmalawi web site where you can find out what a small group of Malawians are organising in response to the pandemic.”
www.masks4allmalawi.org
“The second is an interview on BBC sounds about the Outlook programme that went out on the BBC World Service earlier this week. The interview is with the son of our friend in Lilongwe who has been a key person in the taking forward of the idea of providing free masks for everyone in the country. Its a good interview with a young Malawian seeking and managing to make efforts to help the people of his country. The interview starts at 26.45 minutes into the programme.”
