Nice 1 fellas.
The trip was amazing. Such a eye opening and humbling experience.
Even though it was a refugee camp it was suprisingly organised and structured into different 'villages' and 'communities'. Their living conditions were grim, mud huts, no fresh water, failing crops, and alot of disease, mainly Malaria, but the people were some of the most welcoming and happiest people i've ever met. They went out of their way to accomadate us and look after. They literally had nothing but would offer you what little they did have.
We were lucky to stay in a section of the camp run by a church which had a small lodge attached to it. It had toilets and showers which worked by collecting rain water. So happy about that cos I cant do that communal hole in the ground stuff!
The hardest thing for me was eating. Mainly rice, maize flour, cabbage & beans. Good job i brought a bottle of chilli sauce with me.
I really enjoyed it. I think i'll go back again some time.
