So we met last week on the 2nd at 7pm. There were 7 of us present with our leader away in Fiji and a couple of others unable to attend.
The format of these prep meetings is that we work thru a cross-cultural book that challenges some of our preconceptions and requires us to share and interact with each other. Ice-breaking and growth all rolled into one.
We also chatted with one of the team (who lives in Queenstown) for the first time via phone which was great.
We really have a good bunch of people on this trip and the more we meet the more comfortable we are becoming with each other. Most of the team is in their 30s or older which means no cliques which you can sometimes get with a young team - so that's great.
But even the younger members have a great deal of maturity and have plenty of great stuff to contribute. As I've been interviewing people for the doco everyone has commented how much they enjoy the team and their high expectations for our trip.
The next big item on the agenda is a visit to a mosque on the 28th of this month and visas for Bangladesh which we'll apply for as soon as I send my passport to J.
