The conference started with a wonderful experience on the ferry trip – a sunset over the mountains and Lake Chiemsee. When Sister Scholastika picked up our heavy luggage in her golf cart, the mood in the group was perfect. Cooking and eating together completed the first evening. It was very interesting to hear about the projects that the Prien school company had set up.
The online meeting with the schools in Kenya the next morning was, as always, one of the most beautiful and touching moments of the event. Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces is like a confirmation of what you are investing your time in the school company for.
Throughout the conference, there was a very pleasant balance between fun and exercise, but also learning and working. This had an effect on the overall mood, you never found yourself in a situation where you would have said, that’s enough, I can’t do any more.
After the event, you always go home with new motivation, great prospects and good ideas for the school company, and this time the anticipation of the upcoming trip to Kenya is particularly high.
Many thanks for the wonderful and enriching time, especially to Brigitte Lindenhofer and Irmgard Wutte for the great organization and our coaches for their support and guidance!
