		<title>Malawi gets Ireland support to improve nutrition in-take</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked this up from the Nyasa times and wonder what Dr Gary Heavy might have to say. In Áras kate we are trying to reduce sugar intake in porridge,to help with the teeth issues observed by our dental friends.
Malawians are huge sugar eaters.
Ireland on Friday granted over 1.6 million Euros to Malawi, through the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsforzoe.wordpress.com&blog=591132&post=507&subd=wellsforzoe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Is aid supporting self-serving political activities of NGOs.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written by Caroline Boin and Julian Harris  fron Malawi Sunday Times
Wednesday, 04 November 2009
Aid activists Oxfam complained recently that “it is time for G20 leaders to stand up and deliver the money needed to protect poor people,” as heads of the world&#8217;s biggest economies met in Pittsburgh in September. The real problem is that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsforzoe.wordpress.com&blog=591132&post=502&subd=wellsforzoe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

On Thursday night last I took up this issue with the Irish Ambassador, Liam MacGabhann;
In July last, we employed a bright 19 year old to keep the stores at our factory site in Luinga. She had been persistent in looking for a job, armed with her MSE (equivalent of Leaving Cert).

		<title>Malawi begs Mozambique to lend it fuel after being depleted of forex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Nyasa Times
Since August or so, the Malawi Government closed down all its forex exchanges in an effort to prevent indepent traders accessing hard currencies. It looked to me like an effort to prop up the value of the Malawi Kwacha as all neighbouring currencies were falling in line with the US Dollar. It also [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsforzoe.wordpress.com&blog=591132&post=494&subd=wellsforzoe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Rant on World Food Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Africa has come a long way since independence 50 years ago but is not fully free, and cannot be fully free until there is an end the chronic hunger that afflicts 220 million daily. They must grow the food to free them from hunger and do away with unsustainable food aid and imports. So they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsforzoe.wordpress.com&blog=591132&post=488&subd=wellsforzoe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

OPINION
There was a time in Africa when elders would &#8220;talk&#8221; to the drought and negotiate their way into receiving rainfall. With their unique understanding of causation, elders would either sacrifice a black sheep or ask a virgin girl to bathe in a lake in order to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsforzoe.wordpress.com&blog=591132&post=486&subd=wellsforzoe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Is aid, like Aids, killing Africa?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did this some months ago, I&#8217;m less angry now after 6 weeks in Mzuzu, but the question still stands.
Africa has had over forty years of empty talk and public gestures. But the impression that Africa is fatally troubled and can be saved only by outside help — not to mention celebrities— is destructive, very [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsforzoe.wordpress.com&blog=591132&post=483&subd=wellsforzoe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We have all the same fears and worries about this seven week trip that we know will bring joy and pain, wonder and frustration and a host of emotions, varying sometimes from hour [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsforzoe.wordpress.com&blog=591132&post=481&subd=wellsforzoe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
