To put my first week as a volunteer in South Africa in a few paragraphs is near impossible. I’ve learnt more, been challenged more and met more interesting people than I have in my twenty one years of living. My initial expectation of the trip was that I would feel an overwhelming sense of satisfaction from helping those who needed it. However I was soon to realize I also was in need of help. A different kind of help. The kind that opens your eyes and mind, and allows you to feel things you have never felt before.
