Volunteer Trip April 2023

A chilled start today.
We make our way to the site with the van loaded with the curtains, teddies, hula hoops, lady sanitary packs and the blanket for Anelle from Debs.
Everyday as we drive into the house build I greet the old gentleman. He always stands and thanks me for the house.
I do a quick look around of the site we are nearly there, we just have the windows to cleaned and the floor needs to be screeded. This is not a job the Volunteers can do. So I make the decision to leave the site after we have done the windows and return for the last day in the morning.
We travel down to Anelle house and Debs puts a blanket made by Eileen on his bed with a little note. (Spreading her Love)
Next stop to pick up Lindani bag so I can travel back to the UK with it for him then he can bring another one.
Then we go to Hluhluwe Build it for Debs PJ's that she left in Bayete. Maxwell hands them over in a neatly wrapped box.
We then make our way to a little local restaurant called Weavers which gives the volunteers also some time to purchase a few gifts in there little shop.
Next stop shopping for the the local Spar shop to buy all the supplies for the party 🎉 for the children from the children's home and everyone else I seem to of invited.....lol
I invite them and Debs just keeps adding them to the list....😂
We arrive back to the Lodge in time for Nkosie 👑 🐘 to take Jane out for a run 🏃🏾‍♀️ whilst everyone else jumps into the shower and gets ready for dinner to arrive this evening a rice dish from Mai a local lady that has done an amazing task of feeding us all week in the evening.
It's the one thing I love when we sit down in the evening around the table and the team chit-a-chatter about the days events. Czytaj więcej
