We have been friends with the folks at Miqlat, Inc. (www.miqlat.com) for almost 8 years, ever since Don joined them on a short-term mission
trip to Malawi in 2004. Upon arrival in
Malawi, Miqlat founder, Dan Gillespie, and Miqlat executive administrator,
Sally Fox, took us by the hand and patiently guided us through the maze of
living and working in a new country.
They pulled us into their existing social circles and alongside the
Malawian Miqlat staff, we became wealthy with friends early on!
Working with the Malawian administrative staff has been quite insightful, as they patiently teach us how to use simple Chechewa greetings, eat nsima with our hands at the Hope Centers, dress in appropriate village attire, and most importantly, tend to the 300 children under their care at each Hope Center.
We'd like to introduce them to you here. Meet...
