Five days in Mzuzu

The city of Mzuzu is quite big, at least in the Malawian standard. And it is the most green I have seen yet! The landscape is coloured in shades of bright green to dark green, almost blue as the scenery changes and mountains appear in the horizon. And on every free spot in the city area you'll find small crops of maize.

The first day in the north, we were taken to an out reach clinic in one of the rural areas. Two times a month health personel visits to do medical check-ups on pregnant women and infants, as well as to give health information and guidance. Because of the remoteness and lack of transportation this is pretty much the medical care the population are able to get.

We have also visited a lot of schools, and had several presentations of Norway for the students. Not to mention the homes we have been invited to! In addition we been to the the lake once again, and on the same trip a tea plantation. An investment like that can have such good effects on the local community. - But I've got to say, the heat inside the factory was almost unbearable. At least for us cold Norwegians;)

On sunday we'll leave for Zomba, but untill then I'm determined to enjoy the hospitality of northern Malawi:)
