The venturers and volunteer managers have completed a successful phase one working on WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and Natural Resource Management (NRM) projects as well as undertaking a 19-day trek. All four teams reconvened in Iringa for four days of changeover. Changeover is a time for the groups to hand in any paper work, replenish their logistics supplies and of course meet up with the other groups and share details of their projects. The teams also had the opportunity to take part in lots of activities including the ‘Raleigh Olympics’!
The teams were joined by the second set of seven week venturers who will complete phase two and three alongside the ten week venturers. Those who are here for five weeks will be leaving after a five day trek, whilst our first set of seven week venturers depart following phase two. The venturers and volunteer managers were very excited to find out which projects they would be working on during phase two. So, let’s meet the new teams:
