I'm back from 8 days spent volunteering in South Africa with Virgin Unite and Pride 'n Purpose. Words simply cannot express the incredible experience I had and it was all due to the love and support from everyone who donated and wished us well. In 6 weeks, I raised over £2k towards our £15k target, which we smashed (the 10 of us raised over £22k in the end!). I've made life-long friends with the 9 other extraordinary individuals from all around the global Virgin Group , loved donating my time on a project to benefit the most welcoming people I've met and created memories that will last a lifetime. 8 days just wasn't enough time but I know I'll be back again soon...
