Romania Trip

After a seven-hour cramped, bumpy, and tiring bus ride, the small group of about fifteen Class 1 students arrived in the small town of Beius (Romania) our new home for the upcoming week of hard work. We were split up into groups of twos and threes and allocated different houses, staying with host families in their homes. The experience was quite unnerving for all of us to start off with as nobody from the group had stayed in a stranger’s house before. The first four days of the trip were dedicated to long periods of labour, building a house for a family in need with the partnership of Habitat for Humanity Beius. It was an incredible experience, working long hours on the building site, playing football against the local school, and meeting children from the orphanage. Something none of us will forget!
