After looking at the first day of their trip on Thursday, today we look back on the remainder of their time in Malawi.

Day two saw the delivery of a festival for 60 girls in Makata Primary School in the Ndirande township, Blantyre, which is one of the poorest districts in Malawi.

"The drive to Ndirande was quite overwhelming, I just can't believe people live in these conditions," said Prathiv.

Once at the school the African young leaders put their new found skills into action under the guidance of the English leaders.

"I can't believe the difference in my young leaders today," said Edward Grizzell. "They have really improved and are actually taking control of the groups rather than just being led by myself."

Abigail Jacobs, FA Football Development Administrator, added: "I am really proud of our young leaders today. They have been asked to take on the role of mentors to their African counterparts and have responded really well."

Once the session was complete, John Heathcote lead a reflection session on how to improve for Thursday's main event.

"It is essential to embed reflection sessions into our programme," said Levett.

"If we can teach our young people the skills of reflective thinking now we will develop better coaches. Our leaders are asked to keep video diaries and think books throughout the week and each leader has their own personal mentor for the trip who they meet each evening to discuss the day and plan for the next day. This challenges the leaders to not just do but think about what they have done and how they can improve or repeat something that has been successful."

On the final day the party went to Chimaliro Primary School in the Chingumula township of Limbe - another very poor area where the government supports the school by providing maize to ensure the children at least receive food.

"I found the whole experience today quite overwhelming," said Rebecca. "I never realised people had to live like this."

Sixty girls were selected by Play Soccer, led by Patricio Auxensio Kulemeka, the Country Programme Director, who are doing some fantastic work in Malawi to provide both girls and boys with an opportunity to play football, develop social skills and educate them on health.

All the English visitors commented on how much their young leaders had developed, leading the football session and refereeing the mini-soccer games.

"My guys were brilliant today," said Prathiv. "I just stood back and supported them when needed. I am really proud of them."

Wellings and Croft's party of 25, many of whom were coaches, visited the festival to see the young leaders in action and get some new ideas. Levett led an hour's coaching session to provide new ideas to the coaches before Heathcote provided a hour's session on how to incorporate HIV/Aids awareness games into football sessions - something that he has developed over the past three visits to Africa.

To finish the experience The FA party travelled to Mulanje, a district of Malawi to visit the Friends of Mulanje Orphans (FOMO).

There the party were greeted by very excited children and staff who provided a very warm welcome. This gave the young leaders the opportunity to donate old football shirts, sweets, pencils that they had brought from England as well as gifts of shoes and T-shirts from The FA.

After the warm greeting staff and young leaders had the opportunity to watch and join in a football game under the backdrop of the third largest mountain in Malawi.

The party set off on Friday morning and 40 hours later reached England exhilarated, exhausted, humbled and overwhelmed but ready to put their experiences into practice.
