Goodbye Mzuzu

Steve Whitener

Yes, it’s time. My short three weeks here at Rafiki Village Mzuzu are over. Today I leave for Lilongwe to catch a plane to JoBurg, South Africa on Monday for the next chapter in the SAoRS.

It’s been amazing here.

I’ll miss…

  • The wonderful orphans and day students at school
  • Having lunch and dinner with our students in the dining halls
  • visiting the cottages of the resident orphans
  • helping the godly resident staff
  • substitute teaching Bible, history, language arts, and computers
  • the wonderful weather (although it’s identical to a San Diego winter)

Every school day at 8AM everyone meets on the “pad” for announcements, singing of the national anthem, and prayer. Madam Debbie leads the school with professionalism and Christian virtue.

Daily, all the students begin the day on the “pad.” Here’s what almost 200 Rafiki School students look like.

You can see the blessing Rafiki has been to this orphan boy by just looking at him.

There are more posts to come from Rafiki. Once I have access to faster internet, I’ll be uploading videos into some new posts. They’re coming soon.
