The following are a collection from Dr. Jack Allison, his wife Sue and son
Josh's visit to Africa and Malawi in 2005. Jack returned to Malawi to
follow up upon his several visits following his years in service as a US
Peace Corps Volunteer, where he participated in the Malawi assignment
known as Malawi 11, serving as a Public Health Instructor at a rural
hospital in a village called Nsiyaludzu. During Jack's time there, he
developed one of the most popular Public Health Programs in the history
of Malawi and the Peace Corps. He developed Public Health songs in the
principle language of the Central and Southern Regions of Malawi of
Chichewa or Chinyanja. His song, "Ufa wa Mtedza" ("Peanut Flour") which was
the the first popular song on the Malawi Broadcast Corporation's Radio
Malawi in the local language. Previously, languages on the radio were
English, Portuguese and languages in music from South Africa and other
neighboring countries. Please click HERE to go to the location of this website to read more about Jack and load his Public Health songs, starting with Ufa. To view the full sized pictures, please left mouse click on the small copies below to expand them. |
