Publisher Description: Fotorise Me Madam delves into the customs and culture of people in a remote Malawian community through the eyes of an Australian teenager volunteering as a teacher there. From a collection of personal experiences and interpretations as well as facts, the story gives a glimpse into Malawian culture, language and history. It primarily explores the trials and tribulations faced by students, families and teachers as they struggle to navigate their way through Malawi's underfunded school system. However, it concurrently allows the reader to experience a traditional Malawian village lifestyle. Recollections of the joy children find from the simple things in life and stories of singing and dancing with the wider community are mixed with more serious topics such as AIDS, the economy, farming, religion and poverty.
