Today was wind down day as we prepared for the long journey home on Monday.
We visited a market, updated blogs and notes, had a de-brief with the WaterAid Zambia team and wound down from this incredible week.
Although we spent time reflecting on our trip, it was still Saturday that was most dominant in our minds.
We in England don't realize how lucky we are to have clean, safe running water flowing straight to our taps 24/7 and flushing toilets.
Yes, the water may, on the rare occasion, not be there due to a burst or maintenance work, but we really have no cause to complain.
WaterAid does an amazing job, but with 4,000 children a day dying from the lack of clean water and sanitation there is still so much more we can do.
I hope this has raised some awareness of the issues and made you think about supporting WaterAid in the future.
There will be future posts in the coming weeks as I add photos and more detail so please keep checking back.
I am writing this on Monday morning as we prepare to leave to hotel ahead of the long flight home and I know my life will never be the same as it was just eight days ago.
Thank you both South East Water and WaterAid for this amazing experience. I hope I do this trip justice by raising awareness and money for this charity in the future so more people in developing countries have have this basic human right, access to to safe, clean water and sanitation.
Thank you again for reading.
