I'm the Africa Group Administrator and I'm currently expanding this network as much as possible. I'll definitely let you know if I hear of any internship. I think Meaghan has contacted you too. Good luck with your search and welcome to the Africa group!

Always great to meet a fellow Blantyre! What we are looking into is trying to set up a project similar to the want that is being set up in Bangalore India with an organization that I am working with called Ubuntu at work. Have a pick at there website www.ubuntuatwork.com. Ubuntu at Work is a global social networking community that connects women micro entrepreneurs across the developing world with coaches and collaborators who offer them encouragement and support to develop sound business ideas, funding assistance, and networking resources to pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations.
The project I would like to work on in Malawi is continuing what I do designing accessories etc.. out of recycled, sustainable materials etc.. hope this helps with information .. about me I was born in Canada and moved and lived in Blantyre... Studied Industrial design from Emily Carr institute of art and Design... :)
Look forward to hearing from you.
