Airport Bound



 The day has finally arrived!! We are on the way to the airport as I’m typing this. Full of excitement and nervousness. We all can’t actually believe we are doing this.

They have this huge area for people with mental health issues and the elderly and frail. This complex has around 1000 men and 800 women living there. It’s like a mini village, with kitchens and a hospital. Physio rooms and gardens. The other part is an educational centre to help get the children off the streets. In total, around 500 children are learning life skills here as well ...
