my volunteer role at the Commonwealth Games starts this weekend. I'm part of a team of gofers assigned to work for the team managers of one of the national teams and 'my' nation is ... drum roll
Samoa - a Pacific Island nation north east of New Zealand. I have visited there once, have Samoan friends and feel familiar with the culture. I'm pleased.
For the next 4 weeks I'll be flat out with this role but intend to keep posting zoom in zoom out. I will be reading blogs on my commute but doubt I'll be able to comment as much as usual. I have some posts set up to publish in coming weeks but all news of the games will have to wait until I'm finished.
looking forward to what else will be revealed in your zoom pairs this week
