Every year, each SAWIP team member gets to live with a host family and this year I have been fortunate to be placed with a great family, the Cantrel’s. I still remember how excited I was meeting my host family for the first time at the airport when I arrived on the 14th of June; my excitement was also mixed with wonder of how the family is and if I will gel well with everyone. And I must say that now, not only have I gelled well but I truly feel part of the family. Frank, Anne, Madeleine, Joe and Katherine has welcomed me into their home and treated me like a son and brother. The one thing I have learnt staying with the Cantrel family in the past four weeks is that love and respect is important in building a family.
