Today was a full day indeed. Breakfast was shared around
7:30 and bonding was achieved between the members of our group. Afterward, and
in a more formal and structured forum, the group collaborated and came up with a common
understanding of how a group can function well. We discussed which components
are present in well functioning groups, what our objectives are as a group over
the course of this project both shared and individual, and the parameters of
our group as it relates to the community we will be serving. Although the
orientation took many hours, there were hours set aside for a tour of the
Reservation. Our guide, Joe, was informative and knowledgeable. For me, the
highlight of the trip was stopping in one of the hotels in Glacier, the biggest
in the park; the view was spectacular and the hotel itself, historic. Upon
conclusion of the tour we returned to our base of operations to share in
another delicious meal prepared by Candy. It was chicken with veggies and
rolls. Some went to watch a movie after dinner, I read. I am really looking
forward to getting to work tomorrow and meeting some of the locals and feel
excited and well equipped to be working with the folks that have decided to
participate.
