This reflection deals both with the preparation work we were doing leading up to the trip before it was unfortunately cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The relevant Learning Objectives are LO3, LO4.
LO3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience was relevant because we were very careful in this stage to ensure that everything was in order before we left. We had plans for purchasing equipment, checking safety and health concerns relevant to Vietnam before leaving, and ensuring everything that needed to be booked would be booked in due time before we left.
LO4 – Show commitment and perseverance in CAS experiences was relevant towards the end of this stage, as rumours grew regarding cancellation/postponing of our Project Week trips. Despite what we heard, we continued working hard to make sure our plan was in order in case the trip could still go through. Unfortunately, in the end, it was not meant to be.
