Description: Dzama Community School, Dzama Malawi.  The children clustered around visiting faculty in July 2009 at the school near Lilongwe, Malawi. This young man found a perch to better see us. The school is supported jointly by UNC Project Staff, UNC-Chapel Hill Faculty, and the Scharp Community, Seattle, WA to provide children orphaned by AIDS with educational and nutritional support.
