The team met for the first time on Thursday 9th February 2017. We all introduced ourselves and shared our excitement for the trip. It was a great first meeting and we think we are going to get on really well. Find out more about why the team have chosen to come on this adventure.
Julie
I am looking forward to find out more about Ocean Stars and the trip to Sri Lanka in October. I am especially interested in maintaining the link between Fleet Methodist Church and Ocean Stars, as well as supporting Dilanee. I am happy this trip will enhance my work and ministry with children and families.
James
I would like to give something back to those less fortunate tan myself and to see firsthand how Ocean Stars help the people in Sri Lanka. I also think it is a great experience to go on the trip and it will be good for me to go outside my comfort zone and do something I have never done before.
Jennie
I have been involved with OST for many years now and have always wanted to go on the trip. As a Trustee, my desire to go has deepened and I am keen to see the projects we support first hand and to have more input in the decisions we make as Trustees. I am also very excited to explore Sri Lanka and see what the country is like.
Lorna
Though I am not sure yet about the trip I know I want to go back and continue to support the pre schools and the Ocean Stars Team. I feel I can’t leave it after having such a wonderful and fulfilling time last year. It will be wonderful to see the teachers and all our friends again.
Heather
I am happy to be here and meet up with the others who are joining the OS trip in October and to talk about expectations and hopefully have some input.
Shahana
I am looking forward to being part of the Ocean Stars journey. I would like to get to know more about the trip and to help with planning and fund raising.
Daniel
I am looking forward to returning as a volunteer and revisiting the projects and meeting all the people I have met before.
