Experience of a lifetime

I was nervous before going on this trip, I would be in a new country for a month with people I've never met before. But as soon as I arrived I realized I had nothing to be worried about. It was an amazing experience. I was able to learn how other people live and try to make a little bit of a difference before I left. While I loved working with the kids, I felt I was really helping out when I was assisting with the building of the school. I realized the work I was doing would be there for years to come and we saw such a huge change in our two weeks there. The construction workers that we were led by were so hardworking and supportive.

The adventure portion of the trip was unreal. South Africa, Mozambique, and Swaziland are such beautiful countries! I would recommend staying awake for the long bus rides and looking out the window so that you can see how the beauty along the way. There were so many activities to do, things I would have never imagined I'd try. Our group became so close. My only wish is that I would have been able to stay there longer!
