Engage Stage - Mission Accepted

Our Journey

As promised, I have returned with a training update and some photo's! 

Intensive training weekend it sure was...

We covered everything imaginable, from Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) and health & safety, to cross-cultural working and integration. As expected, there were also plenty of group activities and team building exercises.

With 22 in total, it wasn't a small group, but everyone was very friendly and it provided the prefect opportunity to meet others in the same boat. 

Being able to sharing our excitement and worries, helped to bring this currently surreal experience to reality.

Our Malawi group is a crazy bunch, but I love them all and can't wait to share this amazing experience with them!! The next time we will all see each other is at Heathrow airport for our departure.

After an action packed three days, I arrived home absolutely exhausted! All plans went out the window in favour of some quality time with my duvet ;)!

P.S Hope no one minds me using the group photo :D x

Engage Training Weekend

Packed and ready to go

Blogging on the go.....

Currently en route to the April departure Engage Workshop after a near ticket disaster (stupid ticket machine)...why are there no human beings in train ticket offices these days!!!

Back to the important stuff....

Part of the ICS Lattitude programme, we are bound for fun packed and detailed traning weekend in preparation for the lead up to our departure......which is fast approaching!

Our training weekend is designed help get our heads around what is set to be a life changing experinece. It will cover everything from the ICS & Lattitude programme, emersing yourself into a new culture, health and safety, and cross cultural working. In addition, we will recieve our pre-placement information handbook, and have our inevitable questions answered. I know I definitely have some!

This also gives us the chance to meet our fellow team mates for the very first time! We will be spending a lot of time together over the next few months, so I suspect we are all excited and anxious to meeting one another, and in store for some quality team bonding. 

Bound for the beautiful, Britsh countryside of Buckinghamshire, and this weekend destined for some spring sunshine, I imagine we are going to have no problem settling in together.

I will hopefully have an update and some pictures to share with you come Monday...
