It has been a very slow climb up a very steep hill and yet we have reached the first of many peaks – along with my friend James Chipoka and Thomas Balzer, two people from the opposite sides of the planet that have a couple of common threads. One being me and the other is the Wood Market in Lilongwe in Malawi. Part of the challenge was met by my family and the sharing of my short “Voices”, which introduced me to another part of the world on Saltspring Island and to Susan Evans and Ted Harrison. It is there (on Saltspring) that Susan runs a program called “Seeds for Malawi” , to whom I have been in contact with. These fine and solid people have given me a new perspective and hope for the people not only of Malawi, but to the world. Proactive people that are making a difference without a big fuss – though I would love to make a big fuss for them. And they show me that “the little people” (in the scheme of things) can do big things. And with that newly found Hope, I will see more success and more of James (who lives in Malawi) posting on this site.
