dreamer_easyOh gods, here we go again... the rule: if you hear the name of a country and you couldn't find it on a map, post three facts about it. (You can blame this one on Oxfam News.)
1. Malawi lies east of Zambia, north of Mozambique, and south of Tanzania, in the southeast of Africa. It became an independent Commonwealth country in 1964.
2. According to Oxfam Australia, about 14% of the population are HIV positive; infant mortality is almost 2 in 5; and the average life expectancy is only 39.8 years, one of the world's lowest. Add that to cash cropping and drought and there's a serious food problem. Plus tens of thousands of new cases of TB are being diagnosed each year.
3. You can listen online to Daybreak Malawi from Capital FM!
