one of my students in malawi: precious hopkins chizonda (a guy, supersmart, real hard worker), same goes for boston tambala. both destroyed the comp at the national exams and made it to the university level with scores around 14 on six exams (hard to get a one and they averaged just over two per exam).

I was in a race w/ Turbo.
He is built like an Ethiopian weightlifter - 160cm/5'4" and must weight 70kg/155lbs. He is all muscle - I have never seen anything like it. If you saw him, you would not believe that he is a runner.

I was in Malawi 1991-1993. your mentioning marvelous reminds me of my favorite name, "McWonderful."
I'm a Mzungu.
hah and there was also a "McBeauty." kids in malawi in sixth grade or so would start giving themselves a series of names.
