My second week in Malawi flew by. I got to spend most of the week in the field, observing monitoring and evaluation in one of the rural districts of Lilongwe for a project ending this September. Being out in the field with some of COWLHA’s local volunteers I also got an opportunity to talk with them and begin to form new friendships here.
This week was also my first week alone and when reality started to hit. I began to settle in and feel comfortable in the house. The house went from feeling big and eerie the first night alone without power, to more like home.
