Completion

So after ten days of hard word, what have we achieved?
We have worked at the centre for about 900 hours which has saved the centre approximately £4,500 in labour costs.
Our expedition encouraged the centre to start the second phase of their project.
Our presence at the centre and the work we were doing helped the fundraisers there to persuade donors to give the centre more money and materials.
We developed the experience and skills of all participants who successfully communicated with the Slovaks even without any knowledge of the Slovak language, successfully travelled around the city on public transport, successfully coped with difficulties such as a lack of hot water, different food and hot weather.
Well done everyone.
