Mick’s time in Paraguay with an Open GV Team
“This was my first trip with Habitat and hopefully it won’t be my last. From the moment we met in Dublin Airport to when we said our tearful goodbyes it truly was the experience of a lifetime. The highlights for me were: the build, to see a two houses rise from the ground in 10 days and know that our teams were part of making these houses home for two families, meeting the locals, getting to know their customs and traditions like yerba mate (local drink) and chippas (cheesey bread), seeing the local kids who have way less than what I had but are very much content.
All this would not have been possible were it not for our brilliant team leaders Giselle and Michelle who were great throughout the trip.
So anyone thinking of joining an upcoming team – do – give a hand up not a hand out.”
