Malawi-Daily Life



Charcoal bearer
Local newspaper reports say that people in rural Malawi are swopping bicycles for food; yet the government denies there is a crisis.

A bicycle is a sure sign of wealth in the realm of the poor.

without a bicycle this man dies...
with a bicycle and no food this man dies...

catch 22
