The last four days training with Voluntary Service Overseas have been fantastic, so involving. We’ve all learned so much. Have met some interesting and useful contacts, that include:
- Alex who worked in Kenya with Kenya Wildlife Service.
- His partner Lucy who works in Natural Resource Management.
- Celia who is going to Namibia. Her ex was in Kenya and is doing a Phd in elephant behaviour.
All 18 of us + the tutors have got on great, such a supportive atmosphere and no-one’s afraid to speak their mind. Everyone has an interesting story (or three!) to tell, I’ve loved every minute of this week.
Sleeping in a single bed has been OK! Seemed far too small when I got in but actually very cosy.
Realise this morning that we have been living in a bubble (no TV, no radio) – headlines in paper talk of wildcat strikes all round Britain and I was totally unaware.
