 Dear Reader
A very big welcome to the 7th issue of ‘The Eye’ Malawi!
We are pleased to introduce some alterations and additions to The Eye. We have a new puzzle page which I am sure will keep you entertained as well as busy. There is a new listings section for ‘Things to do with children’ - please help us grow this by emailing us! The biggest change of course being the swap around of the contents, I hope our regular readers are not to confused by this, if so, not to worry you will get used to it as The Eye will be around for quite some time yet and will more than likely swap around yet again – just to confuse you!
