Support-raising staff retreat

Last weekend the support-raising staff had a retreat at Madang Resort. Here are some pictures of (some of) the things we did...

I was able to use the opportunity to do some training

I had offered to organise a 'teams challenge' social activity. Despite nobody knowing much about what it would entail, there was a good turnout, with enough people for 9 teams. They competed in 4 different kinds of challenge:
- teams working together
- everyone has a go at something to find the team's best score. Did you know that it's possible to flick a rubber band 12 metres??
- 'champion's challenge': everyone represents the team at something
- first team wins (relays)

Teams work together: support the whole team on only two feet

Champion's challenge: leap across a chasm

Champion's challenge: Piggyback racing
(A carries B, then B carries A)
