Description
English:
"Village enclosed by thorn trees, Livingstonia", Malawi, ca.1910
Photograph of a village enclosed by thorn trees. A group of trees can be seen in the middle distance and there is evidence of huts visible in the gaps in the trees. The trees are very tightly packed round the village.; This belongs to a series of Church of Scotland Foreign Missions Committee lantern slides relating to Rev Donald Fraser (1870-1933). Rev Donald Fraser, the Scottish missionary, was born in Argyllshire, Scotland, the son of a Free Church minister. In his youth Rev Fraser helped found the Student Volunteer Movement in Britain and the World Student Christian Federation before beginning missionary service in Malawi with the Free Church of Scotland. He worked in Malawi from 1896 until he returned to Scotland in 1925. He was first posted to Ekwendeni and later Embangweni. Rev Fraser worked closely with the Ngoni people.
