Visit cements long-standing Moray links with African country
WELCOME VISITOR: Exchange teacher Eliza Phiri from Malawi who is visiting Speyside High School.
A TEACHER from Malawi arrived at Aberlour yesterday to take part in a two-week exchange programme at a Moray school.
Eliza Phiri, an English teacher from the Blantyre region in the south of Malawi, will teach children at Speyside High School and take part in pupil activities.
The visit had been arranged after Speyside High’s physical education teacher Hilary Dawson last year went to Soche Hill High School, where Mrs Phiri teaches.
The link had been set up by retired Speyside High teacher Sheena Nicolson, who has spent the last three years working in Malawi on a teacher training scheme through a Voluntary Service Overseas project.
Activities arranged for Mrs Phiri’s visit include meeting former First Minister Jack McConnell, taking part in a sponsored walk, and being introduced to the school’s Malawi pen-pal group.
