Our recent journey to Zimbabwe was nothing short of extraordinary. Departing on March 11th, we embarked on an adventure with 17 enthusiastic students from the Wellington School, accompanied by three dedicated chaperones: Joya, Shelley, and Pete. As we bid farewell to Zimbabwe just two days ago, I am filled with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the experiences we shared.
Our expedition began with high hopes and a sense of anticipation as we touched down in Zimbabwe. After settling into our lodge accommodations, we wasted no time immersing ourselves in the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes that awaited us.
The second day brought a wave of excitement as we embarked on our itinerary, which was brimming with unforgettable experiences. From exploring Petra College to encountering the magnificent white rhinos of Matobo National Park, every moment was filled with awe and wonder. The ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe and the majestic Victoria Falls left an indelible mark on our hearts.
Yet, it was the moments beyond our planned itinerary that truly enriched our journey. Visiting St. Lucy Primary School and donating much-needed supplies brought tears of joy and gratitude to our eyes. Additionally, our impromptu visit to Ngodzi Mine, a squatter camp, allowed us to make a meaningful impact by providing assistance to those in need.
One of the most poignant memories was our spontaneous soccer matches with local children in the streets. The joy and appreciation sparked by our donation of soccer balls reminded us of the profound impact small gestures can have on others. Witnessing the radiant smiles on the faces of those children will forever be etched in our memories.
Throughout our travels, our students demonstrated remarkable adaptability and curiosity, eagerly absorbing the richness of Zimbabwean culture and traditions.
As we bid farewell to Zimbabwe, I invite you to join us in supporting this beautiful country and its communities. If you feel compelled to contribute, please consider visiting www.mymotherland.org to learn more about how you can make a difference.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on this transformative journey. Until we meet again, may the spirit of Zimbabwe continue to inspire us all.
