Malawi 2008 | Comment (0)Christmas blessings
May I take this opportunity to wish everyone every blessing this Christmas.
The stories from earlier in the year may not be as fresh as they were but I hope that the friendships that were established then will continue to flourish.
It doesn’t look as though there will be a white Christmas in Scotland, so I’ve added our own little fall of snow here on the website. It doesn’t last long and, unlike the real stuff, isn’t very cold. All we need is a virtual snowball fight to top it off.

Hello once again! I hope Scotland is quite fine. Zoe told me that you are noo in winter season, and I can imagine how cold it is there. If I were in Scotland I honestly would buy my thick coats to protect me from the cold. In contrast, Malawi is gey hot. We are no longer using our blankets. We sleep without covering ourselves at night.
Once again it is braw to communicate on this rerr website. We had a wee but painful problem with our internet connection recently. I am sure ama Kafupi might have told you about the problem. The problem is noo history. I pray thon we dont have problem again.
I tried to post an article on this site. Unfortunately, the article did not show all the information I wrote. A lot of information disappeared. This was due to the fact that I did not understand some terminology on the write-a-new-post page. I had to ask ama Kafupi for help. You ken this technology is very new here.
A lot has happened at BAGSS. Recently, to begin with, we received gifts from FHS and MM Fund. The gifts included chairs, desks, lab equipment, hot plates just to mention a few. Both pupils and teachers were all smiles. We are planning to send pictures showing girls happy with the braw gifts. Your sending of gifts is a clear manifestation of your love that you shower on BAGSS. The headteacher has already written FHS rector to officially thank the FHS community. May Dod continue to bless you.
We had a graduation ceremony for the Form 4s on 4th Octobeber at Chintheche in. A lot people including politicians were invited. Girls enjoyed it. We also think of posting their pictures on the site. However, that will depend on your help- we shall need instructions to follow when loading up pictures.
The school closed on 7th November for twa month holiday. Pupils will be back on 3rd January, 2009. Meanwhile, teachers are marking the pupils scripts. The school is completely deserted like church on wick days.
The school is missing the students and colleagues who visted us in July. They were our source of inspiration. I am happy that their hurl back tae Scotland was gey rerr.
I will write again.
Malawi 2008 | Comment (0)GREETINGS FROM BAGSS
Hello Friends. It is gey braw to have an opportunity to communicate with you on this rerr website. It has been a long time since Lesley Easton(ama Kafupi) wrote on this site thon the FHS community should anticipate stories from BAGSS. We have an internet connection problem. It seems a technician at our service provider mistakenly gave our modem line to another customer. However, we have been assured that we will be given a new line as soon as possible. Our modem has since been sent to Lilongwe for reprograming. We hope that in a couple of days we will be able to communicate.

Malawi 2008 | Comment (0)More photos – as promised!
I finally added some pictures! They need re-sized though (which I’ll do at some point). They are on the second page of the Malawi 2008 album.

As some of you may know, Ada Nyasulu, the Depute Headteacher at BAGGS recently graduated from university. He was kind enough to send us his graduation pics.
Doesn’t he look smart! Here he is with his wife, Ama Nyasulu.
Congratulations Ada Nyasulu. We hope you had a lovely day.
Malawi 2008 | Comment (0)Thank you!
Just a quick note to say a big thank you to all who helped out at St. Mary’s on Monday night. It was a great evening and all the feedback has been brilliant. What a team!

Malawi 2008 | Comment (0)Yet more photos
The photos from the trip are still trickling in and Kathleen has just added her album here. They’re really good so do have a look (and then persuade her to reveal the secret behind the room change).
There’s still space available for more piccies, so if you have any to upload, please do so.
Malawi 2008, The Editor | Comment (0)Lunch on Friday
Well done to Lynsey and the Orrs. I couldn’t be there, but I’ve heard loads of people saying how great you were!
This Friday Dave Fox is visiting the school to get some feedback. He’s the council person responsible for training us and and helping us organise the trip. He’s coming at 12.45 for a lunch and all Malawi pupils are most welcome. We’re also celebrating Mrs Conington and Miss Derrick being appointed to new responsibilities within the school and the fact that it’s Friday and a holiday weekend.
