Chimmy

The Story of Chimmy:
Sarah, the first Peace Corps Volunteer at my site, had people over for Christmas when they heard a commotion from outside. Apparently a litter of puppies had fallen into the Chimbutzi (pit latrine.) The volunteers spent their Christmas Day trying to fish these puppies out of the Chim and finally was able to save one.
Since that day Chimmy (as I call her) or Senje (another word for pit latrine) has been a loyal friend to all three of us Misuku volunteers. She follows me to language class and sleeps outside the door until I leave. And is just a loving dog, which is a rarity in Malawi.
