My first training day went well. Everyone was very friendly and I made friends. We had a number of ice breaking games through out the day. One was the human knot where you have to stand in a circle, everyone puts their right hand into the middle and grabs hold of somebody else right hand. The same in then done with the left hands then you have to get out of the knot without letting go. It was good because everyone worked as a team and came up with ideas to get out however we were still knotted by the end.
We were doing an unusual fact game where you had facts and you had to go round the room and ask people what their fact was. The most unusual fact was that somebody had slept in a pineapple!
As group we came up with a new necker to wear for the expedition and training days it will be the British necker i.e. red, white & blue with the Carib2015 logo on the back.
The expedition will be going to Antigua, Anguilla and / or St. Kitts & Nevis. Exact location is to be finalised. We will be doing some community work while we are there possibly renovating a building for community use. At the camps we will be staying in two man tents and be cooking our own food using local ingredients. We will be practising cooking and other skills at the training weekends. We found out that in the Caribbean they eat a lot of fish, curried goat and yams. The food seems very tasty and colourful. I am looking forward to trying the food with all the spices.
To raise money the Coventry expedition members will be having a Laughter Yoga session. Date and place to be announced. I'll keep you updated.
