Malawi Cookie Club - Teens and Leaders, Teen Missions International, Chipoka, Malawi

 Description

Is a cookie team a work team? Yes, because you will build brick enclosed ovens at three of our AIDS Orphans 
Rescue Units (AORU). These large ovens will continue to be used at each Unit. After completing the ovens, the 
orphans will help the team mix the cookie dough, cut the cookies out with over 100 different cookie cutters, then 
ice and decorate them. You will then share the cookies and the Gospel with people in the area.

Location:
The team will visit the Teen Missions in Malawi BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center in Chipoka, located 
on the shores of Lake Malawi. After you recoup, the team travels by truck to the AORU in the scenic Dedza 
Mountains.

Sightseeing/Souvenirs:
You will visit Dedza Pottery, an artisan workshop located in this region, and known for its 
beautifully-decorated pottery it produces. Here you can purchase handmade ceramic ware, with African motifs and a number of other 
souvenirs. An outing to Senga Bay on Lake Malawi will give you the chance to enjoy a relaxing rest on the 
beach.

Housing:
Housing will be in tents; bathing and laundry will be done using a bucket.

Travel:
After Boot Camp the team will fly from the Orlando International Airport to Dulles International Airport in 
our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Your next flight crosses the Atlantic Ocean to Rome, Italy for refueling, 
then over the Sahara Desert to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The team will overnight in a hotel before continuing the 
next morning to Lilongwe, Malawi, known as the "Warm Heart of Africa". Upon arrival the team will load the Teen 
Missions in Malawi truck for the two-hour drive to Chipoka located on Lake Malawi.
