"We're not even a little bit like Mali!" “I just moved to South Bend from Alabama. I have family here but I’m originally from Malawi. Do you know where that is? Most people get it confused with Mali; we’re not even a little bit like Mali! Other people don’t know Africa’s not a country. Malawi is close to South Africa and Mali is in the northwest side of the continent. Since I just moved here, I started working at Catholic Charities earlier this week. We take donations and give it to people who need it, we always have food that people can come by and just take, we also have services for young pregnant girls so they can stay healthy, get baby cloths, and learn about financing. We also have support for refugees, but have to direct people to the main office in Fort Wayne for those services. I really like the work we do here.”
