in the UK.

Comments
- I am only just beginning to realise the impact my time in Tanzania has had on me.
- The people in Temeke are some of the most amazing people I have ever met and I continue to be thankful that our paths crossed.
- The children and young people became a part of my every day life and it was so difficult to leave them at the end of our stay.
- I learnt about people and about the reality of living for so many. I value now the simplicity of welcoming others, of listening and of allowing relationships to change and grow.
- My experience in Tanzania has given me so much more than I could have ever given myself. I only hope that I can find ways to live my life in a way that does justice to such a challenging and humbling experience.
