"Today is the day I leave Tanzania. The incredible mix of
emotions is making my head spin as I prepare to leave the green
foliage, blooming flowers and sunny days for skeleton trees and
snow. After four months, I feel like I’m leaving a lot behind. The
GSC trainers and staff have become my family, the kind you can
never say goodbye to forever. So instead, I found myself saying,
'See you as soon as I come back,' because it was the natural thing
to say to family. And I will be back."
