We are delighted that Mercy Sibande, our Malawi Director, has arrived in Scotland. She brought the sunshine with her and she is much more comfortable when it is warm by Scottish standards.
Mercy has already been meeting donors and supporters. She was ‘at home’ in the Edinburgh Botanics and had an informal chat with local MMF supporters. She has already been to two musical concerts – one in Edinburgh and another in Fife. She says “I think I am into music although personally not great at singing.”
Some of her work is more formal, such as an MMF Board meeting. This is being held in person in her honour. The coming week brings further opportunities to meet her.
Tuesday 26th May: One World Shop, Edinburgh 6-7pm
Weds 27th May: Smith Museum Café Stirling from 11:00
Thurs 28th May: City Chambers Edinburgh 11:00 – 12:30. Girls’ Education event hosted by the Scotland Malawi Partnership.
We are grateful for all the work she does in Malawi, for leaving her family to spend this precious time with us and for bringing us vital up-to-date news from Malawi about the schools and girls supported by MMF.
