Mary Tuchscherer and Bay Area educator and Malawi native Masankho Banda are planning a 17-day trip to Malawi (August 3-19, 2009) with a group of eight women from across the United States. The purpose of the trip is twofold:
1. To work with KUDO, a Malawi based non-profit organization to provide service to the rural poor of Nkhata Bay District in Northern Malawi.
2. To participate in legacy writing workshops with Malawian women. We will bring together women of different backgrounds to bridge our differences and highlight the similarities across our cultural divide. Women will be supported to document their life experience, so it is not lost forever. A group of Malawian women will be trained to carry on the work.
