Dear friends of Malawi,
Alan Pitman, the driving force behind the ANDs, has sent me an e-mail with his comments on an event held near the Maleri islands (A Day at the Races) with the intent to generate funds for the local beach community. I have also received some video clips from Larry Johnson that shows the efforts and result of hauling a beach seine in Lake Malawi. Over the years such seines have been wiping out most of the sand-dwelling cichlid populations in the shallow waters and the result of a 1000ft net is nowadays absolutely not worth the effort, BUT what else is there to do to put a meal on the table?
Waterlands is helping the beach community by employing more and more of the fishermen who are trying to earn a living by means other than fishing and to give them an alternate form of income. Read all about the "Day at the Races" following this link:

Thank you again for your donations and I'll keep you posted of new
developments.
