Sunday marked the end of Week #5 of our Pre-Service Training (PST) – and time for a day of rest at Gross Barmen, a new resort & conference center 25km out of Okahandja.
Trainees, trainers and PST staff enjoyed the indoor pool, two outdoor pools, a steam room, waterpolo, volleyball and a delicious braai (BBQ). And, of course, lots of conversation and laughter. Photo credits to Danny, Helene, Rachael and Travis.
I continue to be impressed by how close this group has become, particularly knowing how far and wide we’ll disperse around the country in just a few weeks’ time. From Ludderitz in the remote Southwest to populous Katima Mulilo in the Zambezi Region of the Northeast, it is going to take us more than 24 hours to (hitch)hike from end to end. Our chances to meet together again over the next couple of years will be treasured.
The pictures of your group enjoying time together are fabulous. I can almost feel what you’re describing about your closeness to one another. I’m enjoying your journey through your eyes and learning a lot, too. Aloha, Maryanne
Thank you, Maryanne!
