An urgent case.
You may meet a family or discover a situation that needs support right now. The team comes together. The fundraising starts again.
Urgent cases get scoped by the team and a live fundraiser often starts that same evening.
18:00
Back together.
Return to the hotel. Reflect on what happened. Prepare for tomorrow.
Dinner together, a short reflection circle, then rest. Tomorrow goes again.
Deployment working days usually run from around 9am until 5 to 6pm, followed by an evening reflection session with the team.

Evening reflection
The airport, going home
You will work. You will laugh. You will probably be exhausted.
You'll meet people you never would have met otherwise. And you'll do it alongside a team that came for exactly the same reason you did.
