Friday night a bunch of us went and met up for a nice dinner at a huge mall not far from where we are staying. There is a restaurant there that makes homemade noodles and these very delicious port sandwiches.
This weekend we had a Service project that we all attended that was sponsored by our Client Link Startup Community. Our master of ceremonies was Jose from Dubai and he did a wonderful job!! There was quite the turnout for the service project and Matthias led an activity called the "Marshmallow Game" which was so much fun. Then Raphael and Erik led a "Design Thinking Workshop" which also was not only a learning experience but our participants were truly enjoying themselves. So many people came to us and wanted to know when we would do the next workshop. It was definitely well received. I know our Client Kevin was very happy with how it turned out.
Afterwards we all went out as a team and celebrated teammate Erik's birthday. He had Happy Birthday sung in multiple languages pretty much all day. Pretty glad my birthday is in April. I feel so privileged and fortunate to be on a team with so many wonderful people. We have all become very close as if we have known each other forever. Meeting all of them will definitely be one of the cherished things I will take from this experience.
I have so many pictures but it takes a very long time over VPN to get them downloaded for the blog so look for a huge entry once I am back stateside.
Hi Suanne, Looks like you are having a ball!! I was talking to Juan(ESB) and he mentioned one of his friends from MX is on your team.
