Third Briefing

Friday

All of us had traveled (some further than others) to get to London where we agreed was a central point for all of us to meet up. We stayed in the Elephant and Castle (those of you who were at first briefing will see the link here) area of London and some of us (Clare) got very lost and was glad that Jenny knew her way around very well. We also were given our new uniforms for Tanzania.

Once we were all together we thought of our priorities and went for dinner. Over dinner we discovered how deep our team are with conversation ranging from the new promise to ethical debates.

After dinner we were very lucky to be able to walk along Southbank back to the hostel and got the opportunity to be a part of the amazing atmosphere.

Saturday

Although we did miss everyone from the last briefings, it was nice to do everything at a slower pace (still in our pyjamas). However, Jenny had to run off to a wedding (a friends not her own) and we informed her of things that we were discussing via text. We started off our day out with walking through London stopping at the Globe to try and get tickets and then had lunch on the steps of St Paul's whilst listening to the St Johns Ambulance brass band. 

Then we made our way to CHQ (which Clare had never been to before) to do some more planning and started on who would be in charge of which sections and made lists of what we still had left to do not only with regards to Tanzania but with our lives too.

Once we realised how much we had actually done we went back for a team nap followed by a ridiculous amount of pizza followed by another walk along Southbank.

Sunday

We all traveled back home with our to do lists of things to do before next briefing which is in two weeks. This weekend made us all realise how real and soon the trip actually is. (Six weeks tomorrow as Hannah text us to say earlier)
