Hi friends! I hope I can call you my friends as we go on this adventure together through a country known as "The Warm Heart of Africa:" Malawi. Hopefully you have a world map handy, where you can search for this small country in the Sub-Saharan part of Africa. If you can find it I will be impressed, as even for me it was difficult to find when I first heard about Malawi.
Okay, now a little introduction about myself. In the photo to the right you should see a circle around a boy in a family photo. That is me in the circle with my family! My name is Braden Hintze. Does the last name sound familiar to any of you? Look closely at that family photo and you just might see one of your classmates. Bingo! That's right! I am the favorite (and only) brother to Lexi Hintze! I also got super lucky in having Macey Hintze as my cousin! As I am sure Lexi has already shared with you, our family consists of one boy (me) and then six girls. Our sister recently got married and so you should also see her husband in that photo as well. I also quickly want to give a shoutout to those two girls: Lexi is super smart and the best sister I could ask for and Macey is the funnest cousin ever! I am so happy you get to have both of them in your class. Love ya Lex and Macey!
