Another day in Malawi

There is an article in the paper today about fertilizer subsidies not making it to the final destination.

 This is a good example of some of the logistical problems of working in Malawi. Somewhere between the subsidy and the people receiving the subsidy, fertilizer bags were turned into bags of sand.
