The Aids Trail
Celia Richardson reports on her three month tour through Malawi in 2003, witnessing at first hand the devastating effect the AIDS pandemic is having on Malawi society. She also found signs of hope: a greater awareness of the dangers of HIV/Aids amongst young people, who are themselves initiating change and in the encouraging work being done by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) who have introduced free Anti Retro Viral drugs (ARVs) in two areas with great success.

Susan Cole King (1934 - 2001) in her own words
A report by this remarkable woman priest and former Chief Medical Officer of UNICEF offers an uncompromising analysis of the causes and consequences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It provides a glimpse into her visionary and pioneering work with church leaders and the government in Malawi and suggests ways forward in tackling Africa's shadow of death.

Return to Malindi
Roger and Karla Flambert revisit Malindi in 2002 to see how the Malindi Orphan Care Group and permaculture gardens that they helped establish are progressing. During their visit to villages in the area they find out how people are coping with famine and discover how permaculture gardens are empowering local communities.
