So proud of him (not much of a baby anymore, all 6ft & 18 years of him!).
He's scrimped, saved, worked & fundraised to be able to join a world challenge group from his college on an expedition to their partner school in Kenya.
They are hoping to complete a building project for them as well as do some painting & make strong ties with them all.
After all that, they're going trekking & on safari, lucky things.
So proud of him but boy, am I ever going to miss him!!!

Well done to him for the commitment to saving, fund raising etc.....it's a huge deal! Is this World Challenge specifically? My DDs did 3 trips with WC and they were all fantastic...they got so much out of them and I'm sure your DS will too. Keep busy and time will fly  |

You must have done a great job of rearing him because he sounds like a great responsible young man! This will be a marvelous experience for him. One he will never regret.
