It is our wings that makes us beautiful

"But, Marta, what were you doing in Kufunda? I still don’t understand"
That’s what most of my friends, colleagues and family asked when I arrived back to Barcelona from Kufunda. The difficulty to give them an answer that would make sense to them confirmed the beliefs that I had been sensing since I arrived to Zimbabwe.
Kufunda is about being present; doing or producing are relegated to the background. That’s the first thing I understood when I arrived. No one told me what to do or at what time I should be here or there. After a couple of days of transition, I started to feel that my only responsibility was, as everybody else’s there, being aware of the community needs (and therefore, act) and share this responsibility with the rest of the members.
That is, actually, the biggest and most beautiful assignment that only you can give to yourself. That’s the way I see it. Through this freedom you can deeply talk to your soul and connect with the heart of the others. This created an invisible circle that embraced all of us.
This sense of community fascinated me and still now, from the other hemisphere, I feel this connection. As well as the presence of nature, who hosts the place and our lives. She is there, all around, all the time. During my weeks in Kufunda I started to be in relationship with that powerful land and, somehow, learn to listen to it. I just hope my life in the city won’t destroy it now that I’m back ;)
I find myself living this journey of life; learning, being, laughing, witnessing and also failing, letting go, giving life and dying at the same time.
My love to all the Kufundees.
All my gratefulness to the people that lead me there and the beautiful Zimbabweans I met on the way.

Reading this beautiful piece really reminded me how vital it is to embrace growth and transformation, much like how travel opens our minds to new perspectives. The way “It Is Our Wings That Make Us Beautiful” highlights self-discovery feels deeply connected to why I love helping people explore the world. At New Assignment Help UK, we often see students researching travel agency law and learning how journeys—both personal and professional—can shape identity. This blog captures that same idea: every experience, every challenge, gives us wings to soar higher. It’s inspiring to see such honest reflections about freedom, purpose, and the courage to keep flying, even when life feels uncertain or heavy. Beautifully written and deeply meaningful.
What a soul-stirring reflection, Marta! The way you describe Kufunda as a place of pure presence rather than productivity really hits home. We live in a world that constantly measures our worth by what we do or produce, so reading about a space where simply being is enough feels like a breath of fresh air. Your line about the biggest assignment being the one you give yourself genuinely moved me — it's such a powerful reminder that self-awareness and community connection are forms of learning no classroom can replicate. As a student, I often feel crushed under academic pressure, and sometimes I've even thought about whether to pay someone to take my online exam just to survive the semester. But…
