    It doesn't seem possible that you have been out there for two and a half weeks.
    You must all be so very proud of what you all have achieved and this amazing opportunity and experience, memories which will remain with you forever.
    A huge thank you to Chris and all the volunteers including Mr Lyle, Ms Perks and Millie for all their support.
    Enjoy your last evening there together although I am sure it will be sad in many ways.
    We are so looking forward to seeing you Katie. Lucky and Bruce are too. We enjoyed reading your blog and seeing the pictures especially those of you.
    Safe journey home.
    Lots of Love and hugs
    Mum, Dad and Daniel

First day coaching in Zimbabwe

Image
 Monday 22nd July 2024  By Bess Turpin  Today was our first full day in Zimbabwe, thankfully we were treated with a much needed lie in, 7.30am !! Breakfast was delicious with a range of food including avocado, eggs, toast, fruit and porridge. All full up, we hoped on the bus to our first morning of community projects which was at an old peoples home where we were greeted by an one hundred and eleven year old lady.

 Saturday 27th July 2024 By Arthur Bateman  First night back in Zambia after coming back from Zimbabwe. The accommodation is called Fawlty Towers (Yes, it is named after the TV show) and it is epic! Breakfast was a full fry up of eggs, beans, sausages and tomatoes, which was delicious. Then we made our way to our last tournament. However, one of the buses ferrying the children to the tournament crashed. Luckily only the driver was onboard as it was returning and he was safe. This meant the tournament was only an hour and a half long. However, we still had lots of fun and I made friends with all the children from the Jesus Christ Community Club.  After the tournament we returned to Fawlty Towers and chilled by the pool. I shared a Pizza for lunch, and then at 3pm we got on the minibuses to the river cruise. The boat was amazing. From huge Crocodiles and Hippos (don't fall in) to Elephants and arguably the greatest sunset I have ever seen. Honestly in describable with words...
