Description
Hallo, I'm Rober from Spain, we built a Learning Center in a community called Milala, close to the Chileka international airport. I'm part of an Association to develop the countryside in Malawi
The project is focused in taking advance about the resources in the community and improve the education in the local people. For that we have amazing project that we´ve started in 2018.
We love to know new people from everywhere and share knowledge that can help to make a better world for everybody.
The center is now running with the Literacy classes for adults since 2019, we make, sometimes, a Sewing class for some of the literacy group students, trying to empower women.
There are enough places for volunteers in the center to visit us and help with the project. Right now we need people who can help with the English classes, permaculture design, first aids and building knowledges.

The wonderful of this project that it's supported by local people, so it's not turistic, you will see the reality in Malawi and how people live, living with them and sharing time with them.
