Band of Brothers(and Sisters):The Beginning

The Yoyl team of 2011 consists of fourteen strange,unique individuals and one leader. Those joining me on this ridiculous journey are,in alphabetical order,Carmen,Cathryn,Chelsea,Eugene,Jodie,Lisa,Madhvi,Manon,Matt,Matt,Petra,Shaydene and Tooks. Our great and mighty leader goes by the name Grant. On the 17th of December 2010 I took a bus down to Durban where I spent the weekend with Cathryn's family,with the intention of confirming the fact that I did not want to do Yoyl. On the 19th I attended Redemption Point Church where I met the afore said Grant as well as Chelsea and the first Matthew. By the end of the day I was fully determined to return home with a very positive NO. That evening I flew home somewhat unsure,went to sleep undecided and woke up knowing there was no choice but to return to Red Point. The day I left Springs I was positive I'd made the biggest mistake of my life. On the 24th of January,I met the rest of the team and by the end of the week I never wanted to leave. Now,nearly 5 months later,I am already dreading the day I must leave these amazing people who have become a huge part of my life.
Over the next few days or weeks I will introduce you,oh cyber space,to my Band of Brothers and Sisters who have forever changed my life.
