Volunteering, Pepe Soup and Risque Stories..

Day 32: Thursday 13th November 2008
Management Committee meeting at 9 - we leave at 7 to prepare 9.
By 10:30 about 15 people have arrived; and our agenda item on the National Volunteering Proposal generates a lot of debate.

The proposal is adopted – Santa will host a pilot national volunteering scheme for Cameroon; Tom and I are delighted that we will hopefully leave something a little more concrete than a report, and it seems so are all the involved partner agencies.

Lunch to celebrate, is at Nicoline’s chop house, with pepe soup and boiled plantain. The pepe soup is a rich spicy goat meat soup, and is one of my favourites. Later we go to the Head of Services meeting which also involves good food and drink and a lot of good natured banter.
