Third briefing!

This weekend we headed to Jade's in Bedford for our third briefing.

Alice, Jade, Laura, Amy and Dawn having fun at the park.

We wrote several sessions plans on peer education, leadership and valuing volunteers whilst Amy and Jade went to set up the group bank account. We are feeling very organised and just have some tweaking and finals bits and pieces to go until we are all set with training.

We began to write our risk assessment which wasn't as exciting as others we have written in the past but just as important, including deciding what information we want shared with our families whilst we are away and what information we want to receive from our families. We also had a native Spanish speaker, a friend of Jade's, who came round to translate an introductory piece about each team member to use in Peru. Hopefully we will all be able to orally say the piece too. 

We took a break from the important agenda to go to the park and check out the local zip wire which was tonnes of fun. The evening's entertainment consistent end of home made pizza with wine. Naomi arrived that evening in the middle of an interesting camp fire song session where we discovered Laura's collection of songs had some interesting lyrics. Always a good laugh. 

On Sunday we re convened to update Naomi on the sessions plans and anything she had missed from Saturday. We all had to talk about our team roles to each other so we all have a better understanding on what each of us is responsible for. 

All in all a very productive weekend with around 70 days until our departure. Exciting!

Another team member intro coming soon.

Team Peru.
