The last week........

The rest of the week is taken up with completing the report, tying up loose ends, saying goodbyes and packing!. On Wednesday I make another trip to Jakiri with Ibrahim, Hector and Shamsul to look at the possibility of creating a partnership there. Friday is International Volunteers' Day, and we attend before Ibrahim drives us back to Yaounde in the afternoon. Saturday we fly home overnight, and I am writing these last few paragraphs back home in Cardiff.

It's all too much at the moment to write final thoughts - so many different words and pictures are in my mind. Suffice it to say that it was both easier than I thought and more difficult than I thought - I was lucky in that I met some special people, both Cameroonians and in VSO - I worked hard and didn't get much time off; didn't get a chance to travel and see much of the country - didn't get to see any giraffes either!

I am happy to be back and looking forward to seeing everyone; but I have to answer the question that everyone has been asking me so far... was it worth it and would you do it again? - Well the answer is - like a shot!!
