About

Madalitso is the last born in a family of eight children. He has two brothers and 5 sisters. He the second child in his family to make it to secondary school. Except one older sister, his other siblings dropped out of school and got married due to lack of parental financial support for school fees and supplies. His parents depend on farming to get food and earn some income. They grow maize and cotton on a small piece of land. Madalitso travelled sixteen kilometers to and fro Nanthomba Primary School every day and now does the same to and from Tsogolo Secondary School. Most of the time, he goes to school with an empty stomach but that does not stop him from working hard in order for him to be what he wants to be in future – an Accountant.

Hi Madalitso,
I hope that you did well on the test! How did it go? How cold is the weather in Malawi right now? It is getting very hot in Boston, where I live. All of my favorite foods are starting to grow. I live in the city, far from any farms, but my friends grow some of their own food so I get to eat it. Do you or your family get to grow any food?

I hope all is well with you.

All the best,
Christi
