My favorite memories from this trip: Meeting the most appreciative and humble culture I've ever come across. Having strangers stop us in the community to say hello and thanking us for coming to help their neighbors. Attempting to dig post holes in the rain. Being amazed that the foremen on the job sites worked barefoot. Meeting a village Chief. Visiting a school and being surrounded by the happiest children I've ever met. Attempting and failing to learn the rules of rugby. Watching meals being cooked in the ground during the biggest celebration feast I've had yet on a GV build.
