Simple Reflections from a recent Volunteer



"So much to be done but only two weeks to do these things. We must remind ourselves that things we think are important may not be a high priority here or there may not be the resources required. It’s difficult to see all that needs fixing, changing, improving, but we must remember, we are the visitors, the helpers, this is not our country."

Laura, South Africa Volunteer
