*disclaimer* There’s references to The Lion King in the blog post…cos Africa.Okay! So we left off the last time settling into Malawi, well today all of us got down to the business we were invited to do here! The interviews and meeting the Chilli Farmers.Started bright and early we travelled to meet our translators and introduced ourselves to the farmers!It was amazing to see how these people live, and more about their livelihood.Paige and I met Esther and Rhoda.Emma met Willard Kalera and Towera Mikandawire.Kate and Elizabeth met Thompson and Mayness.We spent the day with these wonderful people, learning their history, about the families and their communities.We conducted the interviews to collect data in order to gather information which can be used in a years time once the African Birds Eye Chillis have been harvest. After a year of working with the third party Farming Association Tropha, the farmers will conduct surveys again and see if Nandos has made an impact on the Farmer’s lives but working with them for a year.Once the interviews were finished, we got to see more of the community that these wonderful people live in. Paige and I got invited into Rhoda’s home to try Malawi’s national dish: Nsima.(Please enjoy this video of me enjoying so Nsima…its not pretty)

Once we left the families for the day, after many thanks and the most warm welcome, we were treated to a trip to a reserve to see some animals.*This is where all of us embodied ‘The Lion King’, and blasted ‘The Circle of Life’ as we travelled around this Safari. IT WAS AMAZING.We were lucky enough to see some amazing animals. From hippos, impala and monkeys. We got to go so close to animals and got so amazing photos ,so we would remember this experience.And that wraps up this edition of Four girls, One passion! Please enjoy these photos we took through out the day of the families, our translators and just us having a laugh really!
