We were met by Suzanne (an EBP representative), who we had met previously at the presentation, around 7:30. Whilst waiting to enter the interview, she commented on how calm and relaxed we were. Maybe because it was so early in the morning, or because we were confident about what we wanted to say in the interview. Unfortunately, Rob could not make today, as he was ill.
After the interview, we went for a chat in a nearby cafe, and then attended a meeting at the Holiday Inn in Portsmouth. Here we chatted to Suzanne and Paul (another EBP representative) about the prize to Goa, and the type of activities we would be doing, such as visiting orphanages, schools and old people's homes, feeding the poor and hungry children, as well as a little relaxation. We then asked some questions about the trip to India, such as what the food was like, how much money to take, what was the temperature like, when were the flights, what clothes to wear etc.
This was only a taste of what is to come for us over the coming months, as we still have to sign parent consent forms, arrange transport and have multiple jabs and tablets. However, now that we have heard what we are doing, we would do anything in the world to go there and experience what they have told us.
