Out of the Blindspot

After breakfast this morning, we went off to the Law College to do our Rotaract Workshop.  Bhaktiar and Faisel accompanied Tom, Julie and I for the morning (10-2 actually) with a group of about 40 rotaracters from around the city.  We led them on an abbreviated U journey with the intent that they would come out of the day with a series of initiatives that they had energy about enough to keep going.  The session went quite well, we generated a number of ideas as to what the problems were and then when we gathered around those ideas, they changed and morphed and matured into projects that seemed to be actually undertakable and be successful.  It was interesting how there was some good overlap and synergy between both other initiatives in the group and other initiatives currently being undertaken by rotary in the community.

Following the workshop we went back to Bhaktiar’s house, rested for a couple hours. We then dressed for dinner and had tea with the family, before going to the center for a trip retrospective with hosts and organizers, followed by the gala finish to our trip.  We got home after midnight, packed a little and flopped into bed.
