Hi Lucy
I am just new on this site.I am a stone sculptor from malawi based in england.I have just returned from malawi a week ago after staying there since last september.I am putting up a beach resort along the lake shore of lake malawi in mangochi district.I like your idea as this is what i am planning when i open up my beach resort this december.The style of my beach resort is very traditional, i will be teaching the local community my skill of carving using our raw material and some stones which are mined in zimbabwe.I would like to work with other organisation over here in europe where by we can have different age group getting involved in the arts both countries.The other advantage will coming together with the local community and know more about malawian culture.This is just a suggestion
Regards
Michael
