All proceeds will be used by the TKA Malawi, 2011 Team to procure supplies in order to bless the children we meet - whether that be at Malawi Children's Mission, during our visit to a local village, or during our visits to the Queen Elizabeth State Hospital in Blantyre.

The auction will run from February 7 - 18. Bidding ends February 18, at 8:00 PM. We will post the winners and contact them the weekend of February 19 to make arrangements for delivery of goods/services.
