Lost Luggage

My luggage finally arrived! It's in the airport locked in a room but it is here in Malawi. I went last night with my program supervisor to pick it up but the people with the keys to the locked room had gone home. We'll go back again today to pick it up. I think that I'll wear all of my clothes at once since I've been wearing the same 2 shirts for the past week. : ) I did borrow a shirt and some pants from another volunteer and felt so stylish because it was something different.

We're still doing training (it's only 2 1/2 weeks for the Peace Corps Response Volunteers instead of 2 1/2 months) in the capital Lilongwe. We learned about the health care system in Malawi yesterday. Not in good condition and many people don't have access to care, but at least anyone (even non-Malawians) receive free health care.

  1. Finally!!! I am so happy to hear that your luggage isn't gone forever :) Funny, (but not surprised) to read that the person with the keys went home for the day (ha, ha).

    I've got another package ready to send you, the only thing I haven't bought is the shoes...do you need me to still get them to send to you? Have you received the first package yet?

    Keep posting updates...I check for them all the time :)
