Big Changes in My Life

By Madalitso Masa on 1.19.12

I’m sad to say I had to move away from Jonasi village for a while. I need to continue my education, so I am now living in Kongwe where I can attend evening classes and study for my Malawi School Certificate of Education. This is equivalent to an American high school diploma or British O-levels. I feel I need this qualification because as a health worker I need to be well educated. It was sad to leave the village and the people I cared for there.

Fiona Wishes She Had Planned Ahead

By Madalitso Masa on 1.19.12

Fiona was expecting her first child and was very excited when she first found out that she was pregnant. I visited her several times during her pregnancy and counseled her on many topics. During the last visit, we talked about preparing for the birth. I told her that she needed to have her bags packed and if possible she should go to the district hospital to wait for her delivery at least three weeks before her due date. I did the last counseling session in the presence of her husband and mother-in-law.
