This blog is a recording of the Credit Union coaching assignment for the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) to consult with Credit Union Managers in Malawi Africa. This is the second year of a two year commitment. I am part of a team of six Credit Union Managers from Canada going to Malawi.

Malawi earthquakes in December















The pictures are from the earthquakes that happened in and around Karonga Malawi from December 6, 2009 to December 21, 2009.  The Credit Union in Karonga was one of the Credit Union's Bruce and I visited last year.  The Credit Union Manager Itai Msiska reported that at least 350 of her members have been affected by the earthquake.  Their main branch and their northern branch both suffered damage.

Even though I am not scheduled to travel to Karonga this trip I have kept in contact with Itai and can report that MUSCCO, the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) and CDF have stepped up to help the people of the region.
