Burundi 2009 Team training:

Team training takes place on the hottest day of the year!

Trainees for the 2009 Burundi team sacrificed much of their day in the searing heat to take part in teams training. The team of 15 in total started early after travelling in from various parts of Scotland and remained late to make sure every detail had been covered before their epic trip to what has become the world's poorest country. A dentist, a doctor and three other medics are part of the team. Members in their teens and those who have retired are mixed together to make this a very versatile and exciting team to be part of.The team picture shows a couple of folks missing.

Mission International's director Hugh Henderson delivers the training.
Team members from Port Seton and other friends were our hosts for the day and laid out beautiful meals for us, everyone expressed their gratitude for their hard work.

Team members receive their instructions, a session of testimonies was also arranged where some team members practised the skills they will need for their time on team.

The hot sunshine experienced during the training day was a real attraction and so at any spare moment team members could be found outside enjoying the sun ans surveying the beautiful view over Port Seton's picturesque harbour.
