Updates from an EWB volunteer. July 14, 2011. I wanted to give everyone who is reading this and/or commenting a great big THANK YOU! And is there is something specific you wanted me to talk about, let me know! It seems to be a common phrase in Malawi. I hear it all the time especially when I tell people what I’m doing here. Where is it that you are working? At the District office… The water office. You know it? I am, however, more familiar with the rural water supply. There are some private waterpoints t...

Updates from an EWB volunteer. A Pretty Typical Work Day in the Life of A. Molaro. June 29, 2011. The district offices take up quite a bit of space. Each sector of government has its own building and the district assembly (the head honchos) have a building too. It would be the equivalent of an office building, but there are no two or more story buildings, so it’s all spread out on a large plot of land. I say hello and chat for a few minutes before I head into my office. Next I get started with my work...

Updates from an EWB volunteer. I’m just Ali; that’s it, that’s all! Here’s a picture of myself. It’s from a few years ago, but there are many elements about it that say “ali molaro”. First off, and most apparent, I’m playing donkey kong 2 on super nintendo. I love playing video games. I haven’t paid too much attention to the advance in video games and don’t own anything newer than an N64, but I. My N64 and my super nintendo. Second, look how tanned I am!

https://aliinmalawi.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/14-days
Updates from an EWB volunteer. April 16, 2011. Holy smokes. In 14 days I leave Regina… it’s all starting to sink in. As I’m studying for finals, planning vote mobs ( get into it! Tying up loose ends around Regina and trying to fit an entire summer’s worth of hangouts into a couple of weeks, hearing myself say out loud that I am leaving in 14 days shoots a little bit of panic into my belly. 14 days. Ah. Every time. This is the area that I will be working in. That’s exciting! There are also 40 boreholes.

It’s a sort-of cowboy western style movie, with a whole bunch of horse chases and shootouts. When I got to the house I discovered that at least a couple of the young men in the household had already seen the film and were big fans. And lots of the children wanted to watch it. After.

The transatlantic slave trade resulted in an estimated 6.3 million people becoming enslaved and transported from West Africa to the Americas.[1] The slave castle in Ghana’s coastal city of Elmina stands witness to the incalculable suffering inflicted upon the people of the region by the savage enterprise. It also serves as a reminder of the multitudes of human sufferings that exist today, and insists that we work to end them. 2] The Coup,.

Monthly Archives: June 2011. June 24, 2011. I personally think that society is responsible for a very significant percentage of what I’ve earned. If you stick me in the middle of Bangladesh or Peru or someplace, you’ll find out how much this talent is going to produce in the wrong soil. I will be struggling thirty years later.
