Malawi report

When Mr Gordon gave us this "assignment" I thought instantly I'd do my mums home country, Malawi. So here i am & here it is. In Malawi they are not the sportiest of countries but they have their strengths like... did you know that Malawi are ranked 5th in the world at Netball? In the 1800s Malawi was known as Nyasaland but they renamed their country Malawi in 1964. The Malawi flag consists of a green and red stripe with a red sun on top. The president of Malawi is Joyce Banda, she only became president when the former president died this year. My mum was born there in 1970, six years before thy changed the name to Malawi. Malawi is making there paralympic debut this year and are hoping to finally win an olympic medal. The capital of this fine country is Lilongwe and their main language is Chichewa but they speak over 100 different language is Their currency is Kwacha and there are 14,901,000 people living there and thy probably all go swimming in lake Malawi.(which by the way is way bigger than lake Taupo.) I feel proud that my mums from Malawi because even though they have never won an Olympic they have persistence and they are going for gold!
