Training Day

A training day in London was hosted by Quest on the 29th March, Scott Wilson Millennium Projects partner for the project, which gave volunteers the opportunity to meet their fellow team members and learn about their African adventure. The day covered cultural awareness, responsible tourism, travel safety, health, kit and equipment and a background to Mozambique and the local community. The volunteers’ construction skills were put to the test in the teamwork challenge when they were tasked with constructing a tower to support the weight of an egg using only spaghetti and jelly babies! Some teams did better than others… At least the June group know how to make a mean scrambled egg.

So now most of us have met and the project is very much a real proposition. May team you have 2 weeks and counting. Good luck with those foundations.
