Habitat for Humanity Malawi on 30th March 2024, bid farewell to the Legian team of Global Village Volunteers from the Netherlands. The team, which stayed in Malawi for 7 days, provided support in constructing two houses for vulnerable families in the T/A Kabudula area of Lilongwe district.
During the farewell ceremony, the team officially handed over the two houses to the beneficiary families. To add excitement to the event, they had the opportunity to savor traditional Malawian food and experience the local culture through various traditional dances such as Chimtali, choirs, Gulewakhulu, and others. The Legian team also showcased their own dances, providing a glimpse into Dutch culture for the Malawian communities present.
In recognition of their dedicated efforts to uplift the livelihoods of vulnerable communities in Malawi, Habitat for Humanity Malawi presented each member of the Legian team with a certificate of appreciation.
Senior Chief Gwirize, in his remarks, highlighted the collaboration between community members, chiefs, and volunteers from the Netherlands as a shining example of what can be achieved when people unite for a common cause. He emphasized that regardless of our origins, we can make a profound impact by working together towards a shared vision of a better world.
HFH Malawi is delighted to resume hosting teams of Global Village volunteers after the program’s closure in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The second team of Global Village Volunteers is expected to arrive in Malawi on April 6, 2024, to provide support in constructing two houses in the T/A Kabudula area.
