The last morning of the trip included painting in the morning and interviews with past new home recipients - stay tuned for those videos! That was a special experience to reconnect with those families and hear an update on how their lives have been changed since then.
At lunch the volunteers along with all the workers and new home recipient families were treated to a homemade lunch on the beach prepared by Renee one of the drivers. After that came the house dedications! At each house a few volunteers had the opportunity to say a few words to the families and also hand over the keys! It was very exciting when the families could open the door for the first time and let it sink in that this would be their new home!

Overall it was an amazing trip with a great group of people that really worked well together. One volunteer commented that she felt she had made some new friends with not only the people from the village but with some of the other volunteers as well and was looking forward to seeing them in Winnipeg! Everything from working on the construction site and medical clinics to meeting the locals and hearing their stories - it's not something you can experience in Canada. Just seeing these communities with your own eyes can open up your mind to a whole new perspective - so we invite you to consider joining us on the next Shine The Light Initiative Trip! We will have the new dates as soon as we know them!
