"Throughout my time in South Africa I experienced such a huge range of different experiences sights and people, it was an eye opening and humbling experience at times. It was everything that I had dreamed of and more. With more than 20 of us on the trip from all different backgrounds I made some life long friends with some of whom I am working with now and learnt a lot from the others around me."
