also will help Articles, local Handy/ DIY man. He is raising his
nephews and the money will go towards their education and buy school
uniform. The next on-going project is The Chembe Water and Malaria
Projects. www.chembewaterproject.org
whose aim is to provide safe drinking water for the people in the
Cape Maclear region on Lake Malawi. Daughter Lucy can be found at
Gecko Lounge, which is situated in the heart of Chembe village, Lucy
and Simon try to work with the local people wherever possible and are
committed to ensuring that their success filters into the local area,
they buy local products and use village carvers, painters, builders
and other tradesmen.

after every goal. Anyway our team, Bad Bays, won 5-2! They have put
their prize money towards football boots!! Pictures to follow,
