South Africa Trip 2012

It is so hard to look back on the trip to South Africa and pick out what my best experience was. I would have to say it was at the last elementary school we went to. We were able to spend a few hours at the school and to truly connect with the children. We were able to sing, dance, and play with the children. I truly loved spending time with the younger children. I was able to hand feed one child and rock another to sleep. It was just so rewarding. I felt as if I was someone that those two children were able to feel comfortable with. Also, when Dean Willis, Ms. Foukalas and Juliet, came back with all of the food and clothes for the children, to see the principals reaction was beyond amazing. She was brought to tears which automatically brought me to tears. It was so rewarding that just by her reaction, everything was worth it. I am so happy that I was a part of something that truly helped a whole school. That school will be stocked with food and clothing for the children; even if only for a little while; and I was a part of that. That whole day at the elementary school was great because I spent time with children and I felt as if I was almost like a mother figure to them by feeding and rocking the children, and being able to see the principal’s reaction was just so amazing. I am forever thankful.
