jaapv Posted November 25, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Chief of Chipoka Village, Malawi And rush hour... House interior with presents; this is the only luxury this family will know for the coming year until we visit them again. We are helping them putting their children through school through Plan International. The whole village benefits from this NGO. And this is the classroom....The most prized thing in rural Africa is education, it is the only ticket out of poverty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Village Life. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
azzo Posted November 25, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2007 Jaap, Both images are very good. Pleasing tones in the 1st and beautiful colours presented in the 2nd. The addition of the little girl on the left, makes the image even nicer. Very well captured. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenkok Posted November 25, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 25, 2007 Jaap, The pictures show poverty, poverty and more poverty It must be a difficult live for all of them. Great pictures though, Ruben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 25, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 25, 2007 Jaap - Excellent series, and I'm always glad to see the children are receiving schooling -- Schooling is too lacking in too many places, and as you state, it is the only ticket out.

hsw Posted November 25, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2007 These are beautiful Jaap. The color is superb and you obviously connected with the villagers. A country in abject poverty. I spent some time with an Anglican priest studying here at our Seminary in Virginia and he had three parishes to cover, riding hours on a beat up bicycle. Amazing that even extreme poverty in Malawi cannot completely extinguish the human spirit. Thanks for bringing these to us. Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted November 25, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 25, 2007 Nice series, Jaap; 2 and 4 are my preferred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fielden Posted November 26, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 26, 2007 Great shots Jaap, Love the No.2 Rush Hour. The poverty is overwhelming and well captured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted November 26, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks for sharing these Jaap. How did you end up at this location? Are you working for an NGO? The tragedy here is that as we further move into a global economy the gap between rich and poor grows wider and wider...

jaapv Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted December 4, 2007 No, I am just what they call" a dedicated traveller to the continent" - I do have my own NGO - we provide oral surgery in a country where there are no consultants - none on 15 million inhabitants (the ratio of doctors is about one to a milion and dentists about one to three million) but this village is one that I got to know through Plan International.

cirillaard21 Posted January 19, 2023 Share #11 Posted January 19, 2023 Hi, we also have pictures from village life. Here is one picture: Welcome, dear visitor!

The story behind these artisans is that they are bamboo artisans who work in creating bamboo based chairs and table. These artisans are specifically aided and funded by the Government Agencies like COHANDS for their upliftment.
