A few weeks ago I attended pre-departure training, a week long training program for the 106 volunteers from around the country that will be departing for destinations around asia-pacific and Africa in a months time. The most important people I met at PDT were the other volunteers that will be going to China with me. The below photo is of "the China group" and was taken at the farewell cocktail party held at old parliament house here in Canberra during PDT.
We are pictured with Minister Councellor Ke Yasha from the Chinese Embassy. From left to right, we are Mel, Zeina, Me, Olivia, Ke Yasha, Huw, Sam, Emily, Shaku, and Halinka.
The next day we also visited the Chinese Embassy and had tea with Ke Yasha. A short post about or visit was posted on the Chinese Embassy website, you can see it
here.
The below photo is of all the volunteers in intake 30 on the steps of old parliament house.
