Update from Singapore

Hi Everyone. Sorry for the major delay in posting - we didn't have internet access for the last week until we got to Geneva and even then we didn't have much time as our schedule was jam-packed. It was awesome though. The highlight for me had to be the first walk through the Swiss Alps (photos to come once I get home - I promise!) and the visit to the ICRC Museum. Truly inspiring! I'd love to go back and visit it again and spend a bit more time looking around, as there was just so much information to absorb. We also had visits to the ICRC where we broke into smaller groups to discuss ICRC youth-related issues - my workshop being based around principles and values and how we live these daily. Interesting stuff, and definitely something we should be conciously doing more of in NZ. I have lots of fantastic ideas to bring back and put into practice. I can see I'm going to be very busy once I get home! Speaking of getting home, we're in Singapore now. After a 5 hour car trip from Geneva to Milan (leaving at 6am!!) we boarded the plane for Singapore (an 11.5 hour flight!) and we have been in Singapore airport for 10 hours already. Just another 2 to go and we'll be on our way back to NZ. I've learnt so much in the last two weeks and meet so many amazing people, but although it was really sad to leave, I am happy to be heading home, I'm very attached to NZ and can't wait to put all the ideas I have gathered over the last two weeks into practice.
