🌍 Malawi and Finland – A Glimpse into Two Worlds
Background of Malawi
Malawi is a landlocked country in Southeast Africa, bordered by Mozambique, Zambia, and Tanzania. With a population of over 22 million, Malawi is primarily agricultural and has spent decades working toward economic growth despite facing major challenges like HIV/AIDS.
Despite these hardships, Malawi is known as the Warm Heart of Africa - and for a good reason! 💖Malawians are incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. Even though life can be tough economically, they often offer something rare in places like Finland: a genuine smile 😊 and time to chat – even with strangers!
