This piece is a beautiful insight into the commonly misconceived continent that is Africa. It is wonderful to hear inspirational stories of native Malawians working to improve the lives of children. The first story, in which Ms. Kachitenji interviews young Chisomo, is poignant, and raw, the simplicity of her words strip her unimaginably difficult, and different life down to poetry. Her line ?If I can go back to school, I would work on that chance with both hands.,? leaves the listener clawing for more. Both Ms. Kachitenji?s audible charisma, and her subjects? stories grasp the audience, and demand further attention. It is hard to describe how good it is to hear of the positive aspects of village life in Africa. Too often we hear bad stories, and Jane?s outlook and passion for change, brightens the future of Malawi.
