Happy Birthday Malawi!Malawi got its name from the tribal empire Maravi, which means “rays of light.” Malawi just turned 56, having gained it's independence in 1964.
Start practicing:Most women in Malawi carry their belongings on their head. A chitenje is a brightly-colored piece of fabric worn over a skirt. It’s not uncommon to see a woman use her chitenje as an apron, a basket, a pot holder, a baby carrier, a blanket, or almost anything else you can think of.
Malawian Art:While Malawi is mostly agricultural, many people dedicate their lives to arts and crafts. Malawian woodcarvings made with carving knives, sandpaper, and shoe polish are varied and charismatic.
