It's hard to give an overview of a trip that has encompassed so many different things--the South Africa experience is unlike any trip to Europe. There were times that I felt like an utter tourist and other times when I felt like I was a life changing force to the individuals and children I met. To that extent I will never forget the feelings, frustrations, and every thing else that accompanied my community service project and I only hope for the best for all the kids at the center. It may sound cliché but this trip really does change you and I feel as though it has definitely changed me for the better. This trip has reminded and shown me that economic and social inequality is an issue now as much as it has ever been.
