Old friend

At 6:10am I was at Dyeratu deport waiting for the minibus from Nchalo to lift me to Blantyre for my studies. I was arriving at 8:12am and started learning up to 1:00pm. After classes I was going to the deport and on the way I met my friend Augustine Mkamwa whom I missed since I left Chikwawa Secondary School in 1997.

I just heard a call from inside the minibus. I didn’t recognize him and he got off. He hugged me, but coldly I responded. He then reminded me that we were once together at Chikwawa Secondary School. And I hugged him too for I identified him. We had one hour flashbacking at the deport where I was waiting for the lifts. He was so surprising that I am still continuing with my studies.

I told him that I decided to do rural community and development, diploma 1 for my personal better understanding of the typical impoverished community members. And if possibly finding the strategies for the social and economic development.
