Hey there all,
What a couple of days it has been. It is Monday night and we
have just had our farewell evening. So I realise I keep leaving you in suspense
and having to then give you a huge update but what can I say I am a busy girl!
Both Saturday and Sunday
afternoon were partner matching and project writing. Different organizations
which shared similar areas of interest( such as Arts, Social Enterprise,
Ecology, Human Rights, Poverty, Inter-cultural relationship building etc. )
reached out to each other to begin drafting new potential partner projects both
short term and long term.
The innovation, creativity and substance which was
brought about from the inter-cultural
grouping was simply astounding. It was
here where the sheer passion of each project participant in educating and
training the youth of tomorrow, was brought to light.
The groups continued
to project write until the evening. Most of us chose to spend some part of the
day doing this by the sea which was far more stimulating than within a four
walled room. Although inspiration can be
gained anywhere and at anytime of your life; sitting on the dock of a bay is a
great one.
Saturday evening we
visited the ancient town of Mdina known as the Silent City. It was a beautiful medieval
walled town with a population of just over 300. According to my source property
prices are extremely high within the confined walls, with prices hitting a
million which I found rather intriguing. Photos never do justice but the view
was great and generally with clear skies Sicily can be seen in the distance.
After another hard working day of project writing Sunday evening set off with the inter-cultural evening. This was
another enjoyable evening with great company , food and music. Each
organization brought a variety of food and drink to represent their country. As
well as Cider, Crackers and Cheese, the UK had a range of Diwali sweets given
it was Diwali weekend- the Hindu festival of light!
I am afraid it is Bed o'clock for your favourite blogger which means
another pause in the story. I will save
the best for last. Today really was a wonderful last day with the group and I
will tell you all about it from the airport in the morning.
Il-lejl it-tajjeb! ( Goodnight)
