from the Starfish UK & Malawi Teams.

Dear Friends and Supporters,


This month we want to bring you news about the extra classrooms at the nurseries, an update on the opening of the maternity, welcome to Tamara who has joined our Malawi team and an update on the container journey.

Nursery Classrooms

The work has begun on the extra classrooms being added to Moyo, Jonasi and Kundayi nurseries. This will enable all three classes to be under cover in the shade and the dry in the rainy season.  

Soon teaching under a tree will be a thing of the past!

Maternity Facility Update

We have been advised that the two midwives are being appointed, together with additional support staff.

The final stages of equipping and preparing the facility are being done and it is hoped that it will open on 25th June, which will be great.

 
 

Welcome To Tamara Kamtema

Tamara has joined the Malawi team as the new Schools Linking Co-ordinator (Malawi), Administrator/Reporter and GATEWAY Programmes Officer. 

Tamara sent this wonderful message to the UK schools,

“Thank you for the warm welcome and for having me on board. I am delighted to join the School Link Programme as the new Coordinator for Malawi.

I look forward to working with you all as we continue to strengthen the connections and learning opportunities between our partner schools. 

I am excited to learn more about your learners, celebrate the wonderful work already taking place, and support the growth of our partnerships.”

 
 

Container Update

As we write this newsletter our container is getting nearer to Malawi. 

The last information we had was that the container has reached the port of Coega in South Africa where it will transfer to a new ship that will take it up to Biera port in Mozambique.  From there it will go overland to Lilongwe.

We hope that we will have the container in Salima in mid- July.
