As the spring starts to make an appearance, the arrival of our three visitors from Malawi becomes more of a reality. With the passports obtained for all three travellers, we are now working with contacts in Malawi to help secure their visas to enter the UK. Not always a straightforward procedure!
The itinerary is also coming together with planned visits to local schools, the Scottish Parliament, Stirling Council, a local farm and still much more to be confi rmed.
These activities will support both communities (here in Dunblane
and Likhubula) to strengthen our existing partnership links between and provide opportunities explore new projects and ideas together face to face.
The visit also represents a fantastic opportunity for our community here in Dunblane to learn more about the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’ and for our visitors to experience Scottish culture at its best. Keep an eye out for our programme of events for the upcoming visit and please feel free to join in. Everyone welcome!
We are pleased to introduce our three visitors through the ‘pen pictures’ they forwarded to us...
