The Katima-Conference: Mass Orientation

Today we began our mass orientation, otherwise referred to by the name in the title as "The Katima-Conference". This involves the other groups in the area coming to our town , and meeting with each other, and learning about what exactly we got ourselves into. After dinner, we all went outside and travelled downtown to do some shopping, and a small snowball fight broke out both en route to the respective shops, and in the street on our way back. About 20-25 minutes later, that turned into a full-scale snowball war with everyone making little alliances and pelting each other with snowballs. It was fun, then our Project Coordinatior (PC) came outside after the staff meeting, and we had to tone it down as the respective groups made their ways back to the Katima-Houses in their communities (some of them up to 2.5 hours away!) Otherwise, not much going on. All the action with the work assignments begins next week, so I'll keep posting as time goes on.
