Great experience and nice concept of the tour - We had a great Guide (Syd) who introduced us to the township and its Community , Telling us about the professions of the people and Their own businesses. The children at the Kindergarten were lovely and excited to See us. It is a nice gesture if you bring some chips or pastry but the Guide will also assist you in buying the sufficient amount and make a Good selection the kids Like. There is a Great feeling of Hope and happiness the children express , which was nice to See. For lunch we were taken to a small restaurant , with a spectacular view owned by a trained Chef, who cooked a delicious lunch !! We wish all the best to the Community and Hope to come back.
