There is a good reason that Malawi is called the "Warm Heart of Africa." The people are so warm, welcoming, and friendly. Here are some of the special people we had the opportunity to meet. I called it old and new friends, because we were fortunate to meet and spend time with friends that Hots and Elliott Easley along with Bill and Lydia Kellett, made over twenty years ago as well as make new friends too. We also met fellow PCUSA members from Texas and Ohio who helped us in many ways as well as a Peace Corp volunteer working as a nurse in the hospital, and medical students from England.
