First of all, we finally got our t-shirts! woooo
Then we had to choose the groups, WHAT A PALAVAR!
Last week everyone taking part in World Challenge had a meeting in which we wrote down 4 names of people who we wouldn't mind being in a group with. The teachers would take that into consideration and we would ' most probably' go in a group with them; I put down my best friend Karen and then 3 other people who I wouldn't mind being with.
Yesterday, we got put into our groups in our meeting after school and I was sooo excited throughout the whole school day to find out who I was put with. Obviously, I thought I would be in a group with Karen as all the teachers know we are best friends, she was first on my list and you know, I just assumed. Well I was wrong! They didn't put me with her and I was in a group with one of the boys I wrote on my list and then 18 other people. I was devastated that I wasn't with Karen so I wanted to change. But the group I was put in was SO good and everyone was so amazingly friendly, it was such a shame but I left that group and went into the other one with Karen and the rest of the people on my list so again I'm happy! It was a lose:win situation.
So once we were in our groups we had to decide what sort of trek we wanted to do, what activity we wanted to do for our R&R (rest and relaxation) and where abouts in Zambia we wanted to end up. I thought there would be arguments/ a lot of disagreements but nope, it was so much easier than I thought it would be!
Our plan:
Straight away we all decided we wanted to work with children and build either an orphanage or a school. We still haven't completly decided what sort of trek we want to do as a few of the group want to do a long 8 day hard one where as some others (including myself) would prefer to do a 5 day easyish/medium level. So that is yet to be decided!
For our R&R we are hoping to go on a Safari and to the amazing Victoria Falls! (Amazing, right?!)
I'll keep you posted!
