What is the local attitude towards Americans?
We have been asked this question by a number of American applicants. Our American volunteers haven’t, to date, experienced any anti-American feeling, although one of our American volunteers did say he was Canadian! However, we have found no animosity towards Americans or any other nationality for that matter. There are quite a number of Muslims in the country (about 20% of the population), but they don’t seem to be fanatical about their faith and live in harmony with the majority Christian population. Malawi really is the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’, and you’ll see why once you get there.
