Mentor Training Weekend 2 |
|
A very early morning start for some of us. The bus from Birmingham left at 6.45 and arrived at Milton Keynes at 7.30 there I (Mohammedabbas Remtulla) got on the bus and set off for Stanmore. We arrived there at 8.45 with 15 mins to spare. We were then instructed to weigh the suitcases and add in any admin items. At this point mentor files and photos of campers were handed out. Having done a final check on the luggage, we set out for Heathrow at around 11:00.
When arriving at Heathrow we then checked in the luggage and took the flight to Sweden where Br. Hassanain Govani and Br. Qazim Sumar awaited our arrival. After collections we got on the coach and made our way to Karsogarden.
Straightaway we were shown to our rooms and given time to settle in ready for salaah. Dinner- chicken pasta which was absolutely delicious was served at around 8.30; this was followed by the finest in khoja tea and Swedish cheese which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Nearing salaah time we were given a comprehensive tour of the campsite outlining its boundaries, limits and any out-of-bound areas within it. This was followed by salaat at 9.45.
After salaah Br. Fazleabbas and Br. Hasnain Panjwani conducted some trust exercises giving the mentors a rough idea of how to build a strong bond between campers that were due to arrive in 2 days time.
We looked ahead to the next day’s tasks and finally fell asleep at midnight.
