Photo sent to us by Mark Chonde of the group of 24 or so in Mzuzu who are interested in the United Church of God
Where we rented our car. Car rental is three times more expensive than in the US. The car has many things wrong with it. The Visa/MasterCard symbols mean nothing
Mr. Chonde has shared some of the things we sent with this relief agency
Almost every evening the Chonde's gather together and sing. Shown is Mark Chonde with his mother Alice Chonde
