Team-building 101

Our first afternoon of team-building with the management team of Isubilo was a huge success! We quickly overcame the language barrier- it's amazing what a short thumb wrestling match can do to break the ice. Much laughter was heard throughout the afternoon as we lead the group through some fun activities and great discussions. The team at Isubilo is genuinely excited to learn about their team and how they can improve, all in order to serve their community and people in it as best they can. Truly amazing work they are doing!

The farm, on the other hand, has forced our little team of 3 to practice what they preach! Kristi and Claudia (roomies) have bonded over the addition of their "new roommate Scratchy"- we are not sure what or who Scratchy is, but boy can he/she make some weird noises late at night...thank goodness for Gravol or we'd never get to sleep! Shannon, on the other hand, has grown accustomed to rinsing her hair in the kitchen sink after the shower goes from a low-pressure spray to a trickle. Kristi and Claudia don't have that problem as they have been forced to walk across the farm to shower due to a "bad plumbing situation" in their room. Let's just say, their shower makes gurgle noises when Shannon flushes her toilet, and it's not Scratchy.

Dinner is like an episode of Coronation Street, as we 3 Canadians try and keep up with the British accents of our hosts and fellow guests at the farm- we must say, tea every afternoon is 'jolly good' and just plain civilized. We quickly got used to that new tradition.

This weekend the 3 of us are heading to Nsobe Game Park, after making a quick visit to Isubilo to play with the children on Saturday morning. We hope to post some new photos of us and some new friends we will make at the park!

Thanks for your comments and emails- we love hearing from home!
