Environment Africa Launch


Barbara Banda, in center, has family in my village. Where ever you go you still return to your home village for visits and to be buried when you die. She has been educated in the west and is now country director of Environment Africa.


Environment Africa is concerned with environmental issues which are huge in Malawi. Environment issues are just not high on the list of priorities of a country so poor.


We organized into groups and spent a couple of hours walking through Lilongwe picking up trash and talking to people about not using plastic.


Here is the chairman of the Lilongwe City Assembly with Barbara.


Barbara and I are working together on development issues in my village. Since she is in Lilongwe she needs someone like me who is in the village. We are establishing a library/resource center.
