What does the name yo-yo ma mean? This from the Daily Beast: There's a Chinese tradition that all the siblings from one generation share one character in their names in common, or one syllable, â¦ the celebrated cellist explained in an interview for my new PBS documentary series, Faces of America.
Malawi is a landlocked country located in southern central Africa along the western part of the Great Rift Valley of Africa. Covering a total area of 118,484 kmÂ², it stretches some 900 km north to south, and between 90 and 161 km east to west.
Malawi has foreign debt of $2.9 billion, of which $1603 million is owed to the World Bank, $322 million to the African Development Bank, and $88 million to the IMF. In 2000, under the enhanced HIPC Initiative, the World Bank and the IMF agreed to support a debt-reduction package for Malawi. Life expectancy at birth has fallen from around 45 years in 1990 to around 37 years today: around half of the life expectancy of the average Scot. 2  Malawi's government can only afford to spend on average $12 (around Â£6) per person each year on healthcare.
