It all started on a misty Saturday morning. I didn't know what to expect or realise the impact this weekend would have on me.

I have heard opinions, read the papers and seen the news. But until you have been there and met people, shaken their hands, heard their stories, seen the conditions they are living in (and yet they invite you to share a cup of tea, or what little they have), you are only going by what the press publish.

It could be any one of us, or our families. It’s the biggest lottery, where you are born.
