Hello!
I am Tawachi Nyasulu from the Republic of Malawi in Southern Africa.It makes me sad to realise that most people out there do not know where my beautiful country is located unless I mention the countries we share boundaries with. I therefore would like to feature my country profile on this forum and I am sure you will fall in love with Malawi.
> MALAWI means 'Flames'(of fire)
> Malawi is a small landlocked country. It shares bounbaries with Tanzania to the North, Mozambique to the East and South, and Zambia to the West.
> The population is at about 10 million, and most people live in the rural areas.
> The country is divided into three regions: Northern, Central and Southern regions.The adminstrative capital is Lilongwe in the Central Region and the commercial capital is
Blantyre.
> The people are very friendly and this is why Malawi is referred to as the Warm Heart of Africa.
> The culture is diverse and unique. It includes traditonal dances for specific occasions, initiation for boys and girls, bride price,and many more.
> There are five national parks and four game reserves. Animals include elephants, lions, leopards, tigers, rhinoceros, giraffes, warthogs and many more.
> Our meals are prepared using corn flour, rice and cassava flour. We get our proteins from fish, beef and beans.
> Challenges: HIV-AIDS (15 % of the population is infected)
low literacy rate(40%)
young democracy
> Religion: mostly Christianity
How I wish I had a scanner so that I would have included some pictures. Anyway should I find that chance I will do so. But my message is: Malawi is a beautiful country. Those of you who like travelling, come over some holiday.
Bye!!!!!!
