This past week I attended two conferences - first, the VSO Peer Conference at Senga Bay, Lake Malawi. This conference was aimed at bringing volunteers working in the education programme area together to share learnings, challenges and successes. The second conference, the VSO National Conference, was held at Kande Beach, Lake Malawi and was for volunteers in all of the 4 programme areas - education, HIV/AIDS, health, and secure livelihoods. Some photos from the week of conferencing...
Birds at Murande Cottages, venue of the VSO Peer Support Conference. Love the one on the right. Crazy bird.
I love these massive, colourful trees. Not sure what they're called, but the burst of bright orange always takes my breath away. This one is near the bus station in Balaka. 
The blooms up close.
Senga Bay fishing boats, early morning.
Sunrise at Senga Bay. It was well worth getting up at 5 am to see this.

Kande Beach, VSO National Conference. This is the dorm room building.
Inside the dorm room- can you sense the excitement?

Fishermen setting out for the day, Senga Bay.
Some shops along the way.
The bar at Kande Beach, a good venue for learning. We all got a good laugh when the dog joined us, front and centre.
Fish anyone? At a stop, men try to sell us very fresh fish through the car window.
Great Pics. Missing Senga Bay already!
