… 5 zogen los um die Welt zu retten….
Das Teamtreffen am 05.02.2012 war ein sehr erfreulicher Termin für unsere Gruppe.
Gemeinsam wollten Carina, Daniel, Florian und ich an diesem Tag eine Jahresplanung sowie ein Projektdossier erstellen und verschiedenes besprechen und planen.
Die Teamsitzung fand bei mir Zuhause statt, und Carina und ich hatten es uns schon zusammen gemütlich gemacht, als es schellte und Daniel hereinkam. Nachdem Daniel eingetreten war, hörte ich zu meinem Erstaunen im Flur immer noch Schritte und schaute Daniel verwundert an. Er lachte und sagte: „Ich habe eine Überraschung!“ Als ich versuchte einen Blick an Daniel vorbei in den Flur zu erhaschen, erblickte ich Thomas. Ich war Thomas noch nie zuvor begegnet, aber ich hatte mal ein Foto von ihm gesehen, und erkannte ihn gleich wieder.
Thomas ist unser 5. (und kurzzeitig verschollenes) Gruppenmitglied.
Auf Grund privater Umstände, konnte er in den vergangenen Teamsitzungen noch nicht anwesend sein und mitwirken, jedoch war er bereits in unsere Planung mit einbezogen. Carina und Daniel, kennen ihn schon seit Längerem, da sie gemeinsam mit ihm Dienstags Unterricht haben, dahingegen waren Florian und ich ihm noch nie begegnet.
Es war schön Thomas nun endlich persönlich in unserer Gruppe willkommen heißen zu können. Ein Gefühl von Freude und Aufregung lag in der Luft und ich hatte das Gefühl, dass wir alle ein wenig aus dem Konzept geworfen waren, durch diese erfreuliche Nachricht.
Unsere üblichen Arbeitsstrukturen und Abläufe wurden über den Haufen geworfen und wir redeten alle wild durcheinander und auf Thomas ein. Wir versuchten Thomas über alles zu informieren, was wir bisher in Erfahrung gebracht und erreicht hatten, er steuerte neue Ideen mit bei, welche wir als Gruppe gleich aufnahmen und weiter entwickelten.
Bedingt durch all die Aufregung und Freude, waren bei dieser Teamsitzung einige Abläufe etwas chaotisch, dennoch schafften wir es alle anstehenden Aufgaben für diesen Tag, gemeinsam zu erledigen. Im Vordergrund standen dabei vor allem die Erstellung eines Projektdossiers und der Jahresplanung. Es gab mir ein gutes Gefühl nun einen festgelegten Rahmen für die Bearbeitung verschiedener Aufgaben zu haben, so haben wir nun z.B. festgehalten, wann wir mit der Bearbeitung einzelner Aufgaben beginnen und wann wir diese gerne abschließen möchten.
Dieses gute Gefühl wurde zusätzlich bestärkt, durch die schöne Erfahrung nun als vollständige Gruppe die Planung unseres Projektes in Angriff nehmen zu können.

First get together between HAN, MAYA & us
On monday, the 16th January, we had our first meeting with all the important people who work on our project.
Jörgen Tönnesen, a lectuter from the HAN, made his first contact with the guys from the “Stichting-Maya” Project.
We had a cup of coffee and talked about our planes, our interests and our idea for the project and what is possible to convert.
Rene and Jerome told us, that our originally length of stay wouldn´t be able to realize because of the raining weather in this time at Nepal.
So, together with Jürgen, we talked about alternatives.
It would be possible to go there at the beginning of September till the middle of November.
Rene and Jerome checked this date, and so they could give us a secure commitment.
This meeting was a big step going nearer and nearer to our big target. Now we have a fix time, when our journey can start.
At the end of this meeting you could see a big relief in all our eyes. It was very nice to know, that the project now is already well planed and we had consent from a lecturer of the HAN.
On this day, we made a big step in direction to Nepal.

El Salvador Project Team Presentation
Today we visited the presentation from a group of students that spend two months in El Salvador carrying out a project as a part of their studies at the HAN. It was quite a frightening event if you consider us helding a similar presentation about our project one year from now on.
They had put a lot of effort in their project and shared it with us by showing loads of photo and video captures. They also interacted with the audience which made things really interesting. On stage they build up a cage with real chicken and used that area as part of their role playing.
In the break we had a conversation with Simon Gebert who was part of that project team. We asked him about the the greatest problem and nicest experience they faced during their work on the project. He mentioned that they had a couple of fights that were triggered by the fact that they had to live together on such narrow ground. But he was amazed by how many new and great experiences he made getting to know a culture that lives a completely different life compared to us. We believe that we probably also will experience those aspects and are glad to be warned in advance.
So all in all it was a stunning occurrence that helped us realize what we are heading for during our work on the project. We could catch some basic presentation methods that we could put into good use for our own presentation.

MINOR ONLY!
During the last two weeks it became clear that most people are only interested in the foreign minor... that's actually quite frustrating! Now we spend so much time in finding new members for the team and there are only a few left that want to leave the country in their project period. But you know what: We are not about to give up yet! Until today our member count reads 3 (Carina, Thomas and Daniel)
PS: Info meeting with Jürgen Tönnesen was really helpful. We could find out more about general requirements.
