Team Alpha Four!
They can all return home with a great sense of achievement, having completed their community project in the village of Kandegala in record time and battling their way through the Adventure Challenge in a rather wet and muddy Kerala!
All of us at Fieldbase have been tremendously impressed with their enthusiasm and determination. They have made a real impact on the community at Kandegala and worked extremely well as a team to achieve an enormous amount together in a very short space of time.
Well done Alpha Four!
Meanwhile the other Alpha groups are coming to the end of their Project Phases and will soon be heading down to Kerala themselves to take part in their own Adventure Challenge. The Fieldbase team have been busily preparing for the week ahead and there are plenty of challenges, events and activities, which will continue to remain a secret for now...
Here's a quick update on all the groups:
Alpha One
have finished construction on the site and are plastering the walls of the Community Centre in preparation for the grand opening ceremony on Tuesday. On Friday they said goodbye to Project Manager Lorraine, who has now returned to Fieldbase to catch up on all our finances before we depart on the Adventure Challenge. The whole village gathered together on her final evening and Raleigh participants provided entertainment in the form of a fashion show.
Alpha Two
enjoyed a trip out yesterday despite the rainy weather. All 25 rainwater harvesting systems are built, plastered and whitewashed. As they await the arrival of the plumbing parts, they too are preparing for their opening ceremony to be held on Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the end of the project.
Alpha Three
have finished installing the roof on the anti-poaching camp and were busy putting last touches to the plastering and flooring this morning, before heading out to the local town of Chamrajanagar for a day of sightseeing and shopping!

ReplyDeleteSounds like you’ve done a fantastic job motivating & keeping your team on task. Close to the end now, so keep up the hard graft & soon you’ll be reaping the rewards of your laborious efforts- enjoying a nice cool beer, whilst building me a balcony! Haha! Hope you have a fantastic, and somewhat more relaxing, last few weeks. All my love, Laura xx
Hi Mhari
ReplyDeleteHope this reaches you in time before you leave.
How are you, just been reading all about your adventures and looking at your blog pictures (on the raft) it all sounds fantastic, so looking forward to hearing your news! Your second postcard arrived yesterday. It must be wonderful seeing the elephants.
At home it is Ferry Fair weekend and for the last two days it has rained non stop hopefully saturday will be better.
Kirsty and John seem to be having fun up north and I think they have been having better weather than home. The camping seems to be going well apart from pitching their tent next to someone who snored all night.
I am working this Sunday so its going to be a last minute dash to try and finish the bedroom on Saturday.
