Hot Weather And Heated Debates
OK, I may be exaggerating slightly - I'm not sure that the debates actually got all that heated... But I should start at the start! And the start is full of acronyms (be warned). Last month was the Communities Committee - Europe, Middle East, and Africa (CC-EMEA) Communities Volunteer Conference (CVC) - and as a result the Communities Resourcing Committee (CRC) decided to meet in Dubai for a change. And in July Dubai is very hot let me tell you - especially if you've come from a country that is in winter... Going from 14ºC to 44ºC is a bit of a shock to the system! Fortunately we were mostly in air conditioning, so it was pretty manageable. It was a busy few days for me - two days of meetings, then two days of the CVC. But I felt that the time was well spent. We had some good discussions…
