As part of the International School curriculum the girls are participating with the International Award (or Duke of Edinbrough Award, see also post of 25th June 2012), a British program aimed at stimulating voluntary work, reaching creative and sportive goals, and independence. This year Dorien and 4 friends organised a 2 day - 1 night hiking & camping trip in Zuid Limburg, the only hilly region in the south of The Netherlands. They spend a lot of time planning the journey (train and bus), the hike and other logistics. The weekend itself was a lot of fun, and everything went very smoothly. The weather was good (despite poor predictions), and the hike not too difficult. Dorien, with her extensive outdoor experience acted as natural trip leader, and some supervision was provided by one of the school's teachers. Paula is next, in September.....
