Home after 27 hours of travel - it
feels soooo good!
Last week was a tough challenge but worth every second. We
had a great team of hardworking Touchstone folk and it was a pleasure to get to
know everyone a bit better. Like the team that went out last year, we have
achieved so much and our efforts will have a positive impact on a couple of
families living in extreme poverty. A phrase that was repeated over the trip
was 'You have to accept that you cannot help everybody, however you can make a
difference to the lives of a few'.
Touchstone have paid for 24 houses to be built in the area just outside Salima!
The project spans over three years. I am so very proud to work for a
company that gives back to the global community! John and Rae's passion for the
project that they started is fierce and I feel privileged to have had the
opportunity to be a part of the experience. It was wonderful to meet all the
dedicated staff from Habitat for Humanity and the CBO - thank you for welcoming
us and showing us your amazing communities and country!
I could never have understood the poverty that some people face without seeing it first-hand. It is an experience I will never forget and I come back to the UK with fresh eyes and a new perspective.
