The last day of expedition was as hectic as ever. Once all the expedition kit had been cleaned, repaired and returned, the participants were put back into their original Alpha groups for an intense reveiw session. Each person drew and presented a ´life shield´to visually represent their past, present and future intentions. It became clear how much some participants and staff alike have learned in their 3 months of spending time with Nicaraguan and Costa Rican communities, in National Parks, and trekking off the beaten track with only their Alpha group team mates to support them.
The expedition was then topped off with the third and final Field Base party - this time complete with a foam machine! Everyone was dressed to impress according to the ´bling pool party´ theme. Everyone had a great time incorportating a large number of unique dance moves and hilarity.
The eleven projects that took place throughout the 08A programme were a huge success, and from the staff team we’d like to say a huge thank you to all the participants for your hard work, energy and fun.
Firm friendships have been made over the course of the expedition and Raleigh´s alumni organisation is set to be extremely active with participants and staff from expedition 08A. Reunions are already planned.
We hope you had the time of your lives, and please don´t forget to stay in touch xxx
