1st Day of Training

Hey guys,

Today we started our first day of training with a pretty early get up! When we got up we found that something had eaten through our food bag and eaten some of our bananas in Elizabeth, Emily and Ruth's room. Was pretty scary as whatever had eaten it must have been very close to Ruth's head!!

We were picked up at 9 for our first training and were met by 8 members of MAGGA who we started training with. By the end of the day there were 12 members and we expect more to arrive tomorrow.
We started off with some icebreakers and then recapped the first aid which they had learnt from last year which they all seemed to remember! They also told us that they had managed to plan and run a camp thanks to last year's training.

Our main training today was on planning a successful training, use of resources and visual aids during presentations and activities. They especially loved learning new songs and games which they also taught us and we had great fun.

We had our first experience of Nsima (the local cuisine) which was interesting and boiling hot. It took us a bit by surprise that we'd have to eat with our hands!!

We are now all very tired and looking forward to another days training tomorrow!

Love from
Team Malawi x
