From 4th to 8th May 2026, Forms 1 and 3 students embarked on an unforgettable educational journey across central, eastern, and southern Malawi, immersing themselves in real-world experiences that blended science, history, law, and culture.

The adventure began at Salima Sugar Company, where the Estate and Factory Manager, Mr. Francis Pindani, inspired future STEM enthusiasts while students learned about sugar processing and the sustainable use of bagasse for co-generation.

Day two brought a touching visit to Nkope School for the Blind in Mangochi, where students witnessed the Anglican Diocese’s commitment to educating underprivileged pupils with special needs, rooted in the legacy of the Chauncey Maples mission. Students donated assorted items to the school.

Traveling from Mangochi to Zomba, they observed firsthand the consequences of poor land use along Lake Malawi and Malombe, the critical role of the Liwonde Barrage in flood prevention, and Zomba city’s vulnerability to disaster dynamics shaped by convectional and orographic rainfall, recalling the devastation of Cyclone Edith in 1945.

On the third day, the University of Malawi opened doors to diverse degree programs and career prospects, while alumni inspired students with their journeys in academia; later, at the Blantyre High Court, they gained insight into judicial procedures and the judiciary’s role in governance.

Day four was marked by reverence at Bishop Josiah Mtekateka’s cemetery at St. Paul’s Cathedral, honoring the first Black Anglican Bishop in Malawi and Africa, before exploring cutting-edge STEM opportunities at the Malawi University of Science and Technology and touring Nkula Hydro Electric Power Plant, a cornerstone of Malawi’s energy sector since 1966.

The final day crowned the experience at LUANAR, where students explored biotechnology labs, aquaculture centers, horticulture farms, and livestock units, bridging classroom theory with practical agriculture, followed by Kamuzu International Airport, where advanced aviation and meteorology systems revealed how climate science supports both aviation safety and agriculture.

This week-long journey was more than travel it was a transformative experience that connected students with academicians, lawyers, clergy, and scientists, igniting curiosity, broadening horizons, and preparing them for a brighter tomorrow.
