Message from Anne & Ruth

Anne - It's been really great being with such a caring and fun group. We look forward to seeing you at the weekend, planes allowing! I have been deeply affected by the effects of AIDS on Mozambique, seeing the children in Dondo is deeply moving, they are so happy despite having few material things. The accomodation still needs a lot doing to it especially water provision and a new kitchen. Children are ill but well cared for by Alice, she has not had a day off or holiday for two years, what a saint. Love you lots Anne.

Ruth - Sorry i havn't written a blog - they are now making me do it! i don't really know what to write, it has been a real culture shock for me, i have always wanted to visit a third world country but had not really thought of the effect it would have on me, and it has been profound. I am looking forward to seeing you all and sharing with you when i get home, once i have had time to collect my thoughts as at the moment they have put me on the spot! Love Ruth

hi Girls!

well done on writing your first blogs!!
I am so glad you have enjoyed your experience out there, I am sure it will be just as much of a culture shock when you come back as when you arrived in Beira
looking forward to the weekend!!
love, victoria
