To my family and friends and other endearing sorts or interested persons, this blog is to chronicle my time working as an apprentice for a microfinance organization in Blantyre, Malawi. Nkehani means story in Chichewa, the national language of Malawi, so over the coming months, I'll post my stories and other updates on my work and adventures here. Zikomo! –georgia

Unfortunately, marshmallows dont exist in Malawi
Came down with a cold yesterday. Odd considering I spend my days drenched with sweat, trekking dusty hills and dodging minibuses. So, it can't possibly be a cold. . .its definitely malaria. Just spent a good hour researching early onset symptoms and its official. Taking my temperature now...waiting for the thermometer to beep...and...shit, the thermometer's in Celsius. Not quite sure of the conversion but 37 degrees seems high. Going to bed because that's probably what my grandmother would tell me to do. Dreaming of marshmallows and chocolate sauce
