Monthly Archive for October, 2007

Around 1:00am my wife and I slept outside the house because it was so hot to sleep inside the house. The heavy blowing wind and started blowing and disturbed us. We entered the house, but still was uncomfortable for it was so difficult to get sleep due to the hotness.

My wife said that it could be so nice if electricity installment was in place on this summer period because we could have access to have air conditioner for comfortability.

When I was at work I received a call from my young brother that he received a call from Ntcheu district where my uncle leaves. He told me that uncle has passed away and was laid to rest on 8th Oct. it was so wonderful because I received a letter from that uncle on the very same day which was said that uncle was laid to rest. At that time my mother was just crying, and she stopped crying when I told her that I did not believe that uncle passed away because I received a letter from uncle on that day. I communicated one of the people who know where my uncle stays to tell us truly on that issue. A man went to uncle’s residence and called me to speak with the uncle. I asked uncle why was he said that was dead and he told me “I am still alive and healthier, who publicized me dead”

I was asked to attend a phase one and phase two committees to update the Fairtrade premium. I was supposed to type all the updates, but I only had opportunity to type at lunch hour while the owner of the computer was at home for lunch. I worked all the day to make everything in place.

At 2pm Kasinthula Cane Growers employees participated a meeting conducted by the Board Chairman and Kasinthula management. On this meeting employees were encouraged to work hand in hand with farmers as owners of the organization.

I failed to attend church service because I was looking for my maize that was dried because goats and cattle were disturbing.

At around 3:30pm, I went to watch football match between Chinangwa FC and Namalindi FC that ended 0-0 draw. It was just social and kept youths busy entertained with sports rather than drinking and taking drugs.

For I failed to sit for September 2007 exams, due to the lack of fee I left for Blantyre to pay for Dec.2007 exams. I paid 75 pounds, that’s 15 pounds per subject for 5 subjects and processing fee amounting to 7 pounds. I was so pleased for paying exams fee because I have got access to sit for Diploma1 in Rural and Community Development. My friend was asking me how he could have access to start a course like what I am doing. I told him it’s easy to be committed to continue with education, but financial embarrassment is only a barrier to sustainable education.

Members were meeting at 2:25pm. The current chairperson asked me to take lead of meeting in various issues to be discussed. I reported on Chinangwa electrification project progress as one of the responsible person. I also informed members that Brian assigned me to conduct Fairtrade awareness to employees and farmers. As an outgoing premium committee secretary I advised current members to be committed to what I have been doing for them to capturer much better on Fairtrade issues. I also informed members about Candico visit on Thursday, Oct. 04, 2007 at around 8am.
