The whole experience has been amazing, now that we are waiting to leave it's hard to believe the amount we have actually accomplished in one week. There are too many high points to count and I feel truly blessed to have been given this opportunity and spend 10 days with some amazing people. The students and teachers of Bright Future never seized to surprise me with their continuous enthusiasm for everything we had to offer them and they will always stay with me.

It is hard to put into words how great this trip has been, I know I will return home and everyone will want to know what it was like. But it can't be explained, you need to see it to understand the trip. More than this we have met some amazing people which we will never forget, Bright Future is a truly amazing school. During this trip our team has really gelled and even received some new members from foxford. The past 10 days have been fantastic and I will never forget everyone we have met and what we have experienced.

This journey has been such a blessed experience to have taken part in as an individual & part of a team. Reflecting on the actual work rate everyone has achieved in the time, being here is completely phenomenal in every single attribute. There are countless memories which have most definitely inspired me to a level where I will carry them with me for the rest of my life. The people that I have met & interracted with whilst being in Uganda are the most gracious people that I have ever met on the face of the earth to date, being here makes me love the motherland (Africa) to a whole new extent.

I honestly don't know where to start, there has not been a single moment in the last 10 days that hasn't been enjoyable. It takes a couple of days to realise where you actually are, as this situation is so unreal and even now I can't quite believe it. Working in the school has been great,being greeted with such amazing hospitality by the staff is something I am eternally grateful for, as well as having the opportunity to meet some wonderful and truly inspiring children. I could probably write for hours but I won't. But I'd like to end by saying thank you to Miss Kirk, Mrs Osman and Karen for being so supportive and helpful, I am truly overwhelmed by what I've been able to experience. I just wish I wasn't going home just yet!

The last 10 days have been so full of excitement and emotion that it's hard to believe we are actually leaving - especially as no one wants to go! Working in Bright Future was amazing, the children and staff are so kind and welcoming that you instantly feel at home. Seeing the children perform their plays on Friday made me realise how much has been done this week, and just how brilliant all the students are! It's hard to summarise every amazing memory from this trip into one paragraph, but I know I will remember it all forever. Thank you to Miss. Kirk, Mrs. Osman and Karen for all the support (and for putting up with us!) Until next time Uganda!

For me, this experience has been more than I could have ever expected and I can't imagine waking up tomorrow and not traveling to Bright Future School. Everybody I have met within these last 10 days have been absolutely wonderful and are some of the greatest people I could have ever have the pleasure meeting. The fact that we are leaving today hasn't quite hit me yet as I have grown used to the current routine and I have been so overwhelmed by how much the children and the staff have impacted me and how much work everyone has done together with so little time. I will miss everyone dearly and even though it is upsetting to be leaving, I am glad that I'm leaving with newly made friends.

To experience this life changing trip twice has been an absolute priveledge. Reuniting with old friends and making new ones has made our trip and all the work leading up to the trip worthwhile. Many a time this week, I have sat back and thought about just how lucky we are at home. The dedicated staff and talented students of Bright Future never seize to amaze me with their enthusiasm to learn and their hospitality. Friday was the highlight for me. Celebrating, dancing and ending an emotional week on a high . I never knew other people's happiness could be so infectious. I would like to thank the best teachers Miss Kirk and Mrs Osman for giving me the opportunity to return to the country that is starting to become my second home. Also , I would like to thank Karen for the support and being there for us all. I can't wait to return !!
