DZALANYAMA SCHOOL REHABILITATION
Land & Lake co-ordinates the ongoing rehabilitation of Dzalanyama School.
The project was launched in 2002. In July 2003 14 students from Ridgeway School, Plympton and King Edward VI School, Stafford traveled to Malawi with World Challenge Expeditions to help renovate the school. Claire Davidson, a teacher in the UK helped raise over £2500 to enable the work to go ahead enabling the building of a girls dormitory. 
Further donations and assistance is required and invited as more funds and help would allow even greater improvements to the school. Volunteers are accommodated at the forest Lodge at a reduced price - Please contact us for further details.
