The way back home


Alongside all of these exciting adventures, the reason I spent the 3 months in the summer of 2011 living and working in Moldova was to lead teams of volunteers from the UK as they used their summer holiday to renovate the house of one of the neediest families in the village. It was such a joy to see the volunteers journey through their two week experiences, learning about a new culture and throwing themselves into something really special. What a mixed bunch came along! One team was a youth group, whilst other teams were formed of retired couples who proved that at any age adventures can be had. One of the hardest things about a trip like this was adjusting to UK life upon my return and it has been a joy to re-live that summer by sharing it with all of you. Currently I am based in the Mission Direct offices, doing the behind the scenes stuff to facilitate other teams going overseas. Opportunities are available not only in Moldova but also in 11 other countries, across Africa, South America and Asia. If you would be interested in getting involved, feel free to call the office on 01582 589985. Alternatively, drop us a line on info@missiondirect.org
