So i took my first Dioxycycline tablet this morning, a prophylaxis for malaria which you begin taken 1-2 days before exposure to the area of risk. This means one thing, in 1-2 days, I WILL BE IN MALAWI! YEYEYYEYE
Well i leave Darlington tomorrow, on the 12.26pm East Coast service to Kings X Cross, followed by a short trip to Heathrow, an overnight flight to Ethiopia, a quick technical stopover in the Congo and finally landing in Malawi Saturday afternoon.
The last 2 months have passed in a fund-raising, exam-passing, moving out of flats blur. Ooo and i quick trip to Bulgaria and Slovakia. But in true comic relief style we not only reached or target i would say we smashed it. We know have around £13,000ish sitting in the bank, meaning if time allows we may also be able to construct a house alongside the health centre for a member of staff.
For the first few nights we will be staying in Lilongwe, followed by a weekend trip to Nkhata Bay and then onto project for the next 8 weeks. We have around 2.5 weeks at the end for travelling and more adventures.
I will try and do a quick blog post whenever i have internet access so hopefully you can all keep informed.
Enjoy the Olympics Britain, and let the adventures begin.....
