Mom traveled to Malawi with the International Foundation for Education and Self-Help, IFESH, after she retired from teaching.

She was to teach special education practices at a teachers' college there. But when the program did not materialize, she taught parents instead, so that they could teach their children at home.

Carole fell in love with Malawi. She loved to hear what Pamoza International was doing for rural families and communities there. Contribute to Pamoza International
