After many hours of travelling, we are finally home! We arrived back in Belfast at 9.15 pm on Friday evening, almost 13 hours after leaving Delhi. It was a tiring day and there were many times when we had to squeeze in a little rest...
I can speak on behalf of the entire team when I say that we had an unforgettable experience, and will treasure the memories of our trip for the rest of our lives.
Thank you to all the friends and relatives who have read our blog each day; your support was incredible and it was wonderful to know that so many were interested in following our progress.
Most importantly, a massive thank you must go to Miss Bassett, Mr Donnelly and Dr Donnelly as without them, the trip would not have been possible. The build up in the months before the trip and the time spent in Delhi required a huge amount of organisation and responsibility, but each member of the team was so impressed and thankful for their determination and the calm and caring nature with which they approached any challenge or difficulty that we faced when in Delhi.
Now that we are home, we cannot wait to share our experiences with everyone. It will be hard to describe and there will be times when we cannot begin to explain some aspects of the trip, but we want to express just how wonderful the city of Delhi is and the joy and love that the people in the slums, who have so much less materialistic possessions than we have, showed to us over the time that we spent working with them.
Again, a big thank you to all who have supported us, and we hope you can see how vital the trip was to be able to give hope to those in need. Your financial support will make such a difference in the slums of Delhi, and please continue to read about Asha's work from the website or from the Asha newletters, as their work really is changing lives and giving hope to those in the slums of Delhi.
