From Malawi to Glenrothes


YOUNGSTERS at two local primary schools have been given a taste of Malawi.

Pupils at Star and Milton of Balgonie primaries welcomed Victoria and Overtoun Mazunda in an exchange between Scotland and the African country.

The Mazundas, from Lusangazi, were in Fife visiting friends at St Kenneth's Parish Church in Kennoway and Windygates in a follow-up to a trip by parishioners earlier this year.

Overtoun is the minister of Lusangazi church, while Victoria teaches home economics in a high school.

They visited local schools to talk about lifestyles in their country and Victoria cooked up some Malawaian dishes for the children to try.

How about a story From "Paris to Bay City, Michigan, USA"?

Every time I speak with Overtoun and Victoria's sons James Paul and John here in the States I remember the wonderful evening I spent with their parents near my home while they visited the US.

Ever since I am attuned to what is going on in Malawi -- harvest quality, weather, politics, William's windmill, increasing tourism (I want to go), First Lady's death, ....

I am honored to know these Mazundas.
