Volunteering 82, NR5 were busy elsewhere, so I assisted the YMCA Training team
We were building a fence
Several new team members were shown how to cut and install posts and nail rails to them. The plan was that several small teams could cooperate with each task - including fire-making earlier and fence painting later
However, it was difficult to keep them focussed and not as much progress was made as we had hoped
Sharing our plans and GETTING some form of buy-in from the learners is essential.
