After gaining a good nights rest, we were ready to venture out in Lilongwe to see the newly built city. Traveling to see President Banda's statue allowed us to learn about the Malawi government. The statue stood in front of a huge clock tower.A tour guide explained the quotes that were engraved into the statues foundation. After the short presentation, the guide led us to the top of the clock tower, which revealed some spectacular views. In a rush for time we headed back to World Camp to meet with a representative from The Jewish Heart for Africa. which is a non-profit organization that installs solar panels for villages to pump water from a bore hole. Malawians on a normal day walk several miles and pump for hours to retrieve a pale of water. Jewish Heart for Africa installs storage tanks to the bore hole to maintain a certain capacity of water. The system they offer helps locals access water quicker and more efficiently.
