They will be expected to; ·      demonstrate exemplary conduct ·      make every effort to adapt to the Malawian culture with particular regard to standards of dress and eating Malawian food.   ·       be fully aware of the health risks involved and take all the preventative measures including a series of injections and medication to prevent malaria ·       They will have the ability to undertake some public speaking duties. ·       They will be able to cope with very basic living conditions (and the insects!!!) and be emotionally mature enough to deal with meeting people who struggle daily with abject poverty and ill- health.
