I am laying here reflecting on the trip this has been. What a whirlwind! At times I can't believe what we have done and I am blown away by how well Connor and Kenzi have done in the face of poverty. How Connor has allowed himself to be hugged, have his personal space bubble popped (and it's a big bubble!) and have 100's of photos taken of him, even by complete strangers in malls or the street.
Both the children have processed differently. Connor has hated saying goodbye to people. Kenzi wants to get home and start a club at school where they pay 5 cents a day and can sponsor children. Both however have been pushed to their limit and they have done so well.
We were blown away in the weeks leading up to this trip by other people's desire to contribute financially or give particular gifts. Whilst helping one class out at my school, one boy, K and his teacher T, gave us his picture of a wombat. We gave one of the two pictures to our sponsor girl Mega. Thanks T and K.
That's lovely Brenton thanks for sharing !!
