For the Love of the Children

“ Love…bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.” 

 1 Corinthians 13:7

Investing in the children of Malawi, begins with investing in their teachers. Here are some pictures highlighting what we have been up to in teacher training through our Montessori week-long internship program and year-long diploma program.  These women absolutely inspire me with their commitment to and love for the children!
