Poyamba mukuyenera kumvetsetsa kuti nthendayi ndi nthenda yanji ndipo imachita zotani. Imeneyi ndi nthenda yokhudza njira ya amayi. Pazifukwa zina, njirayi imapezeka kuti yabooka ndiye mkodzo ukamabwera umangodutsa n’kumachucha, mwinanso n’kusakanikirana ndi chimbudzi. Pachifukwachi, mzimayi amamveka fungo kwambiri moti pagulu la anzake amasowa mtendere komanso anzake amamuthawa. Chomwechomwechonso, abambo a kunyumba amatha kupirira kwa kanthawi koma pena amatopa n’kuchoka pakhomopo. Si nkhani yamasewera, ayi, makamaka kwa mayi yemwe wagwidwa ndi matendawo.

Ndikufotokozerani zifukwa zitatu zomwe ndi zikuluzikulu muno m’Malawi. Pali uchembere olawirira. Munthu akatenga pakati ali wamng’ono, ziwalo zake zimakhala kuti sizidakhwime ndiye chifukwa chokakamiza pobereka, vuto lotere likhoza kubwera. Njira ina n’kubereka pafupipafupi, ziwalo zimatopa mpaka nthawi imadzakwana yoti vuto laonekera komanso njira ina ndi kukonda kuchirira kwa azamba chifukwa pakabwera vuto panthawi yochira, azamba amalephera machitidwe ake.

Ndiye mwati vutoli ndi lalikulu m’dziko muno, palibe njira yothandizira amayi oterewa?

Njira ilipo yomwe nkuthamangira kuchipatala basi. M’dziko muno muli zipatala zingapo komwe kuli madipatimenti othandiza pavutoli koma anthu ambiri amatsogoza kuti matendawa amabwera kaamba kolodzana moti amataya nthawi n’kumayendayenda mwa asing’anga mmalo moti athamangire kuchipatala akalandire thandizo zinthu zisadafike poipitsitsa.
