After the amazing experience and a nice-Eapo-provided-snack of dried fruit and kiwi, we set off to the campsite for lunch. Lunch was either a chicken, salami, salad, or egg sandwich or (on the first day) rice and fried vegetable and meat.
During the afternoon we did a farming activity to learn where our food comes from. This involved looking for fertilizer, aka 'cow poop', hoeing the ground and planting some vegetables. In the end we all learned farming is hard work and had a laugh especially when one of us fell over and found the first poop of the day with the line of, "Hey, I found some!"

Dear Brenda,
We are delighted to confirm receipt your Presentation Proposal ‘"Banana split Phonics" making the teaching of phonics fun and meaningful’ at our forthcoming EYE SPI event.

We will now begin collating the individual requirements of our workshop facilitators and will be in contact with you to confirm your workshop location, available resources and address any specific needs you have. We hope to be able to share event logistics with you by Monday 12 December.
Until then, should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your proposal. We look forward to working with you.
Kind regards,

As the feeling of success clamped tightly on our souls, we headed off to base camp, had a shower, ate dinner, wrote in our nearly-annihilated camp journals and went to bed in our tents.
