Down the memory lane…
After being deployed to communities as CorpsAfrica Malawi Volunteers in November 2021, the integration process followed. Settling in a new community away from home could not be any simple and easy for anyone in our Cohort 5 team. After four months down the line of service was time for the first in-service training (IST 1). It was time to connect again with my fellow Knights and share experiences. I was prepared to share my stories and encounters from my site. I looked forward to sharing the success stories and challenges just as I wanted to hear and learn from others.
More to the IST 1 is a bond that has been sealed amongst my fellow Volunteers and the Malawi CorpsAfrica staff. Tell me of a great hardworking and vibrant team with high work ethics and I will show you CorpsAfrica Malawi staff. The training content was well prepared and delivered. I can confidently say that I am more geared and readier to serve my community more efficiently. Our maintenance activity to wrap up the training was a trip to the most beautiful lake with fresh-water, Lake Malawi. The fun, the games, the view and of course my favorite part, the food were all amazing and refreshing.
Back to my community…
Now, I am back to my beloved site as we continue to redefine development by designing community-led projects with community-led solutions. My mind is at peace, my strength keeps getting stronger for I know I belong to a big clan of CorpsAfrica, and my family is called The Family where my safety is safe. I am a Knight!
