Solid Foundations

This week a friend and her family have found themselves in seemingly impossible circumstances that would shake even the strongest of us and she is strong!

Ups and downs, twists and turns

I have officially been back in The Gambia for over a month and it has been great to be back, but it has also been challenging and full of lots of ups, downs, twists, turns and moments when I am just hanging upside down and wondering what is next.
