After a week of trying to figure out exactly what to do as our second social it was decided to have an evening of fun filled activities at Maji Zuwa.
The social kicked off at 17:30 with a scavenger hunt. UKVs were paired with ICVs and had to hunt for a list of ridiculous items around the resort; including a sock, a stick bigger than your arm, a bottle cap, a leaf bigger than your face, and a 10 kwacha coin. The winners were Alex M. and Kettie, although Forward and Jess were a close last place. There was a lot of confusion about the sizes of faces and leaves.
The hunt was followed by a project team pub quiz. There were 3 rounds on Malawi, Africa and development. The Chicken Group proved themselves most knowledgeable, beating the Vegetable Group by just one point.
The usual 19:00 curfew was extended to 23:00, so after all the activities were over music was played and dancing was done. It turned out to be a chilled evening of lounge chair chatting and banter. The night ended in a truly Malawian way: 21 of us squeezing into a small minivan.
