Here are some photos from my pre-departure course hosted in Gillwell park scout center in London.
On of the many presentations that we did, good practice for our placements. This was all to do with identifying the relationships and importance of different groups of people. This can help when you have to solve problems with different stakeholders.
A beautiful sunset over the park ruined by Sam who is working in Vigyan Ashram in India with fellow volunteer Liv.
Another shot at the sunset.
Showing off one of our many communal meals cooked by each team per night, you can also see the wonderful wild flowers, responsibly sourced by me, acting as out table decorations.
Working on split solving with Kirsten, Bobbie and Ina. With Kirsten heading to India, Ina to Mexico and Bobbie is off to... i'm not sure where, somewhere exciting though.
Some more presentations.
The troups returning after a thrilling game of ultimate Frisbee, played with a tray! Well it is a bunch of engineers what did you expect :P
The campfire, which was thoroughly used by us all as a breakfast venue and the nights entertainment. Becca being the queen of the fire starters.
And some more presentations, you may be seeing a theme here.
You can see the undivided attention of everyone, even I was starting to dread the hours of sitting and listing to things that would be incredibly useful to me in the following months.
Dinner Al fresco, luckily the weather held out for us and we got to dine out under the sun/stars each night.
A very amused Kirsten
The fields
One more try at getting a good sunset picture.
Happy Birthday to Anna, who brought us the joy of sharing her chocolate cake!
And that was that! Hopefully I am now prepared for anything that gets thrown at me! Come on CAMEROON!
