The Experience
In Malawi, many people still barely meet anyone outside of a small circle of family, friends and community while even more never venture beyond the culture in which they were raised. This project is aiming to serve as an important means of introducing people in the rural community of Chikwawa district and around the world to realities they might not normally be exposed to, it encourage people to understand distinct cultures. Join us!

My experience with the COFO team was exciting. The host provided a bedroom and meals at his house, and I enjoyed Malawian food. Every day I went to the field to capture pictures and footage to promote them. We had a busy schedule doing interviews, distributions, and computer work at the office. It was a fascinating time in Chikwawa!

Tive a oportunidade de fazer parte deste time maravilhoso assim como conhecer pessoas inteiramente envolvidas com o projeto de mudança social para a comunidade. As pessoas locais são muito comprometidas e desejam mudanças e precisam muito de ajuda. Solicitam ajuda no âmbito do conhecimento mais que no âmbito financeiro - porém este continua sendo o principal. Adorei a experiência em Chikwawa e tem muito trabalho a ser feito porém com o coordenador Joshua vejo muito avanços em um curto espaço de tempo.
