During our time at Dusty Boots in the Term 2 holidays, our team completed acts of service to not only the locals in Wellington, but also to our host family on their property at Ridgecrest. Our service included a lot of gardening, weeding, and cleaning windows, all of which was extremely rewarding as we were able to talk and connect with the locals. Our Dusty Boots team hosted 2 nights of Trivia at the Baptist and the Anglican church where everyone got involved and a little competitive! This was an amazing opportunity to talk to and get to know more people in the area, many of which we had seen previously at the church service we participated in. Overall, Dusty Boots is a once in a lifetime opportunity where you are able to get to know your cohort and teachers on a deeper level and learn the benefits of community service.
