Well its been awhile since you’ve heard from us but we are
happy to report that we are still here on the beautiful shores of Lake
Malawi. Although the corona pandemic has
curtailed a lot of our activities just like the rest of the world, here on the
Lake we are used to adversity and are determined to continue on. The needs of the Lake, its fish, and the
people that depend on them don’t go away just because most of the world is
focused other events.
With that in mind we would like to emphasize that, YES, are still
accepting volunteer and intern applications at this time. If you’ve been stuck in your house for the
last few months and are ready, or almost ready, to get out back into the world,
why not start that journey with a trip to Lake Malawi! We need all the help we can get to restart
our conservation and monitoring activities and more generally the pandemic has crippled
Malawi’s economy, leaving many lakeshore people who used to work in the tourism
industry without jobs. Every new visitor
helps them return to work.
WITH THAT SAID. There
are still no flights into Malawi and the borders are still closed to
non-residents. So you can’t come just
yet. The good news is that we are
expecting that to change in the next month or two. We can’t guarantee anything but the signals we
are receiving are good so particularly if you are looking to plan a trip
anytime towards the later half of this year, we believe Malawi is a pretty safe
bet.
So what do you have to lose?
The lake water level this year is at an all-time, the sun is shining,
and really, this could be your view every evening so get in touch! We’d love to
hear from you.
