Hi all,
Lorelei & Hayley updating the blog today!
Today was our last day of training on our project, we taught all about how to plan for a camp.
The ladies were quite engaged, they struggled a little deciding what should be done first when planning a camp and decided that they should plan activities before deciding on the number or age of girls or even what the budget was. They managed to plan a 24 hour camp with little problems and presented their ideas back to the group - using lots of the activities ideas that we had shown them in previous trainings, which was good.
We did a evaluation of the trainings, which was very positive. Their only complaint was there was not enough dancing during training sessions!!! What can we say - we had to fit in 5 days of training into 2 and half, which limited the amount of time we could give to dancing. As that was their only complaint, we felt that it must of gone pretty well!
They were all very appreciative and the Central Region Commisoner gave a nice speech at the end about how grateful they were and who ever comes next year need to come and say hi to everyone!
We have debrief hopefully tomorrow with all the important people.
We are now off for a celebratory meal at a secret location as Lorelei won't tell us where we are going!
lots of love
Team Malawi
