My
desire has been to do something meaningful with my gap year, to give back
rather than to take away; and ultimately to serve God through it all. That’s
why I’m spending 3 months volunteering with Tearfund in Malawi.
Malawi is one
of the poorest nations in the world. It has a population of 15 million: nearly
1 million live with HIV; nearly 2 million are at risk of food shortages in the
next 6 months; and nearly 4 million do not have access to safe water.
As
a team, we’ll be working in rural communities in partnership with local
churches, helping to implement food security and water sanitation schemes, and
also to spearhead HIV/AIDS awareness and action projects.
