The idea of the training component of the project is to learn the skills required for the project work in Nepal. These could range from building and carpentry to electrical work, plumbing and decorating depending on the actual project we undertake.
You don’t have to be a trained in any of the above to join the team although a basic knowledge of DIY would be useful! A willingness to learn from those who do have the skills is far more important.
The training weekends are also vital in order for the team to get to know each other and to disseminate information about travel arrangements, living in Nepal, health & safety, activity options, etc.
You would be committed to attending 2 Training Weekends in the Spring/ Summer of 2012.
