Day: 17 October 2022

We had the whole of Team Gambia 2023 together for the first time! So we had a team photo of all 17 of us!

It will be ramadan when we visit The Gambia next April, therefore it won't be possible for us to have an African djembe drumming session. Therefore we invited someone to come along and do a session for us at our briefing weekend, so that team members could experience this big cultural part of the country.

We spent a lot of time over the weekend looking at the peer education session topics which we have been asked to deliver. They are drug awareness, sexual & menstrual health, internet safety and breast checking.  The team looked at each topic and potential session content. We will work more on these at our next team meeting in January.

We have just had our main team briefing weekend, staying at Pettypool. We had 2 days together, to get to know each other, look at our peer education topics, taste some traditional Gambian food and general trip preparation. We started with some team building activities - including a race to make paper chains!
