TUESDAY

To UHCL for the first full day of the programme.
Sabiha gave the students a run-down of some of the stages they might experience, being so far from home in a different culture. We then went out into the atrium for some team-building with Peter Fontana, who has recently returned from training missionaries in China. This was fun and gave the students a chance to work together in their teams with their mentors for the first time. I picked up a couple of good team activities from Peter.
After lunch in the university cafe we went to the Houston Space Center. This is a display/activity/souvenir/foodhall sort of place, incredibly noisy and full of schoolkids on holiday. But it also had some useful displays and an IMAX theatre.


Quiet evening getting to know and appreciate host family.
