Today is an exciting day for us here at Raleigh India and Fieldbase is buzzing with activity and noise.
Yesterday our eight Host Country Participants from the state of Kerala arrived and they were joined this morning by our 33 new venturers! It is absolutely fantastic to have everyone here and ready to get started.
Our slightly jet-lagged and bleary-eyed participants, having travelled from the UK and Holland were put into their training groups where our Project Managers got everyone energized with some name games and ice-breakers. After dinner, they were then whisked away for their swim test and admin sessions.
Over the next five days, the participants will receive all their training in communications, cultural awareness, first aid and health and safety not to mention the practical trekking skills on our mini-trek complete with lessons in camp craft. After this, they will be fully prepared and ready to set off with their alpha groups to the project sites on Saturday.
This afternoon our Raleigh participants still found the energy for an impromptu cricket match!
We’ll certainly be keeping them busy, but will let you know how they are getting on...
Great too see everyone having a good time and settling in.
