Reflections from the HOPE Volunteer Corps - Brooke

#1. Most challenging… Driving up to the six mile school and seeing the poverty of the settlement and the children. But also seeing their contentment showed me they didn’t have any reliance on material possessions.

#2. Most memorable… Walking into 9 mile clinic for the first time and realising how much work needed to be done – then the feeling of completing it.

#3. What you love…The generosity of the people – how they included me as a part of their family straight away. And the food!

#4. Life changing decisions… This trip has caused me to question how much I value the material and taught me that family and friendships are so much more important.
