Evaluation Day


Yesterday we met at Bigrigg Village Hall for an evaluation of the past three weeks. The evaluation day was our last morning together and a great chance for us to spend time together as a group before the Tanzanians left for Rungwe.
 
We were put into groups and each group was given a different activity which we have done for example; 'primary school visits' and 'Music, Dance and Drama'. We had to put forward positive and negative ideas and ways to improve each activity, we then moved round in groups so we all got the chance to share our thoughts. All this 'hard work' called for a break so we stopped half way through for refreshments.
 
After this we were put into different groups to start getting together some ideas for activities we would like to do in Tanzania next year. Some of our idea's included; a safari, a visit to the beach, visit Mount Kilimanjaro (but not to climb it). Another idea was to have a typical day in the life of the Tanzanian students; for example getting up at 7am and walking to school, wearing the same uniform as the students and participating in the lessons at school, which we found out that they did last year too.
 
The evaluation today was great as it allowed us not only to give our ideas on what we would like to see improve next time but also allowed us to reminisce over the three fantastic weeks we have spent together!
