Malawi Trip Summer 2020

We are delighted to announce that 25 pupils have already signed up for this ground breaking trip in 2020 to one of poorest countries in the world, and where the charity Mary’s Meals first began. Known as the warm heart of Africa, Malawi is a landlocked country in south-eastern Africa. The Great Rift Valley runs through the country from north to south, and to the east of the valley lies Lake Malawi. 

This challenging trip will involve:

Two-day hike near Mount Mulanje
Five Days - Classroom Refurbishment/Build at Lauderdale School
Five Days – Teaching assistance/sports/drama activities at            Lauderdale School
Citizenship Education workshops on UN Global Goals
Two-day trip to Lake Malawi and half-day Safari
Half day trip to Mary’s Meals HQ and backpack distribution centre in Blantyre
Half day trip to Makalanga School, and the 600 children we currently sponsor
Experience a Sunday Church service – Malawian-style.

A siginificant part of the challenge is for our pupils to raise the funds in order to carry out the classroom refurbishment project at Lauderdale School. This will take several different forms over the next 18 months and we will be appealing for support from the wider Princethorpe community to help us achieve this ambitious aim. 

It is also not too late to join the trip, as there are a limited number of places still available. Why not rise to the challenge?!

Please email rodisaacs@princethorpe.co.uk to find out more.
