Pictures from Medina Sering Mass

Wow!


What an amazing experience.  We've been made thoroughly welcome in Medina Sering Mass for the last 5 days, and joined in with their annual Easter Scout camp!We were able to incorporate all our programme ideas into their programme, and have a two way cultural exchange.

Below are a selection of photos, which will give you a flavour of what we have seen and done, but please come along to one of the fund raising meetings that we'll be arranging in the near future for a full presentation, and details of how we think the relationship can move forwards.
