After many hours of traveling, the team has finally arrived in East London, South Africa safely!
The day was spent at First City Baptist Church where we kicked off Holiday Camp. We were greeted with warm smiles and excitement from the very beginning and as the day went on the relationships and connections between students and staff only grew stronger. It was amazing to see how quickly the kids welcomed us and even though it was our intention to open our arms to them, the kids managed to show us love on a whole new level by opening their arms even wider to us.
The second half of the day we split up to help in different areas around the facilities. Some of us undertook construction and renovation projects while others visited Breath of Life, a safe house for abandoned and vulnerable babies.
Over all it was a good day and an eye opening experience, and we are so exited to see what what the rest of the week has in store.
