Many of the volunteers got together over the weekend in Madrid for what was called the 'Integration Weekend'. Apart from my lack of understanding the Spanish language, we had a fabulous time and made many new friends. I met most of the volunteers from the other countries who will be part of our small team and I hope to introduce you to them over the coming weeks as I build up a picture of the trip.

So the journey has begun. I have two things to focus on before I leave and that is to lose weight(!) and master the Spanish language. The first will help me run around with energetic children and the second will help me communicate with them. At the moment I am struggling with both - so watch this space!
