This is a journal. Whilst i was out in Africa for 25 days, i had written every night of all the activities I and my fellow classmates had done during that day. We traveled out there to help with our sister school, Mary and Paul's orphanage, which involved; building, painting and cleaning with added extras such as becoming closer with the students and teachers out there and making new friends. During these past two years, me and my team have been raising money and collecting donations which will then be given and used towards their school. Richard Lander School has been doing this for 7 years now, sending groups ages 14 to 15 each year to help improve the quality of the school which keeps on progressing each year. Towards the end of the trip, we were lucky enough to travel to a safari lodge and stay there for three nights whilst going on a safari each day to explore the wide range of wildlife that lives in Africa. after going on this trip in July, i can safely say that this has been one of the best experiences of my life so far and a complete eye opener to the differences between how we live and how they live. If you want to find out about my trip, read this and hopefully you get to experience the emotions i felt during this trip. Throughout this journal, i shall involve pictures so you get a visual of everything that has happened as well. thank you if you are interested.
