We've only gone and done it!!!

Well what can i say. These past two week have been truly amazing. Don't get me wrong i have missed home but there is no feeling or words that can describe what the team have achieved over the past two weeks.

I am so proud of every single person that has given their all to this experience. The service users have worked really hard throughout the last two weeks, but i can honestly say that i am emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted and i feel that Sam, Matt and Budgie feel the same.

I just want to thank everyone who has followed the blog and shown and interest in our time in South Africa and we can not wait to share our stories, pictures and experiences with you all.

I can not describe what this experience has meant to us all, we have made a lot of friends, been exposed to the extremes; from the poverty and desperation of street children to driving through smoke filled roads due to the burning of sugar cane, and from Princess dancing with joy in her new home and the Principal singing our praises for completing our mission this week, to the hundreds of orphans and reality of deprivation, HIV, and poverty housing.

The successes we have made in this short time has only gone to highlight how much more needs to be done. Many people we have met here long for a better life, and it is up to those who can, and those who can afford to continue, one house at a time, the effort we, NCHA, Habitat and those others determined to eradicate poverty housing forever have already made.

WELL DONE ALL!!!! xx
