A typical roadside scene, somewhere in the south.
The rainy season is December to February. In 2005 the rains stopped half way through January. Malawi only produced 1.3 million metric tons of maize (the staple food) intstead of the 2 million needed to feed the nation.
In Jan 2005 a family of 6 needed $115US per month for basics. In Jan 2006 this had risen to $185US

That looks so familiar! I spent two years in Malindi, on the shores of Lake Malawi, as a volunteer with Voluntary Service Overseas. Enjoy your time there!
