We had a ceremony to say thank you to us as participants and photo ops.
All felt quite false. We just spent 24 hours in the slums and we're getting a pat on the back...feels odd.
Still it was awesome as I looked round and saw the faces of my fellow slum-ites. I think we were all pleased that it was over... but also there was an amazing sense of community as i looked at these people and felt a warm affection to them as companions through this emotional, physical and spiritual journey that we have taken in entering the lives of others.
Oh and the coffee we had afterwards never tasted so good. All good things...
