Up bright and early for the pick up to the VSO Office to commence our In Country Training (ICT). After introducing us to the facilities and staff we spent most of the morning with Ebrima completing forms, medical form, emergency form, alien immigration form etc. He then took us to the immigration office, a small run down building with two rooms the main of which consisted of a bench to sit on and two table’s one with a typewriter. The eight of us could hardly fit in the office and sat squashed together on the bench awaiting the outcome. Ebrima handed over some money and one of the officers started typing, it was very informal with lots of laughs and joking going on, at the end of which I can now say I am an Alien!! The day’s ICT finished at 2.30pm, so managed to spend the rest of the day cooling off at the pool with Abigail and Bradley.
