Andrew stopped doing paid work for Mary's Meals on Friday. It was a very difficult decision for him to move on, but it's time. He'll be working full time with Imani (the economists) now on all sorts of things broadly connected with trade.
The MM Malawi team had a football afternoon and send off party for him on Friday. I felt very lucky to be there; so proud of Andrew, so pleased to have these people as my friends. Andrea gave a wonderful speech and a bunch of the men performed some kind of hacka as they chanted 'wazza, wazza, wazza, ah ah ah!' and presented A with brilliant gifts. Pretty special.
Thank you to all of them. I hadn't fully realised until Friday just how big a part of both of our lives MM has been. We'll miss it, but we won't be that far away. Both of us back it completely as the best aid project we've seen. There is simply no good reason for children to go hungry and not have a basic eduction.
