Hello? It's me....

Now I don't know if any of our lovely readers have ever had to do a Skype conference but let me tell you...it's HARD! 

This week some VERY exciting news has come through to Team Malawi and we scheduled a Skype Conference to discuss the developments. Here's how the call went....

Expectation: Everyone will be face to face to talk about project without having to travel hundreds of miles which is obviously easier.
Reality: We all have jobs/university courses/guiding units to run as well as our own lives! Finding a day and a time we could all be free at the same time is not the easiest process but we managed in the end!

Expectation: We'll all be able to see each other so it will be easier to communicate.
Reality: Hilarity. Video feeds frozen in unflattering poses, my terrrible slow wifi confusing everyone, Alicia's wifi dropping out half way through 'popping to the shop' and Laura's feed sounding like she had a dalek over to tea. We got through it and it was lovely to see the rest of Team Malawi's smiling faces but I think we need some more Skype practice!

So through much giggling and shouts of 'what'? and 'Are you all still there?' We found out our news which is...

TEAM MALAWI HAS CONFIRMED FLIGHT DATES AND TIMES!
&
TEAM MALAWI HAS CONFIRMED PROJECT AIMS & OBJECTIVES!

What this means essentially is that we've taken some large steps forward overnight and armed with our new knowledge we'll be spending the next week thinking about how to tailor our training to the project aims and how we want to spend the time we have after project.

We have a good old fashioned conference call next week and we'l be discussing everything in more detail but until then... 

TEAM MALAWI LEAVE IN 22 DAYS! 

So if you'll excuse me I'm off to have a packing related panic....

Much Love
Team Malawi x x
