The Impossible Task? Part 1- Asia House

Day 3
Today was where the hard work began and the real reason why we're here and to put our practical skills into practice.
We would be in charge of organising two events, one at Asia House in London and one at the university campus. We split into two groups and voted for who would be the project manager for each group.
The people chosen were:
ASIA HOUSE
Project Manager - Patrick Wilmott
Assistant Manger- Martin Townsend
UNIVERSITY SHOWCASE
Project Manager- Isha Blake
Assistant Manager- Josh Whitehouse
They were in charge of splitting up their group into teams to cover all the jobs needed.

Tomorrow we would go down to London and present to professionals and schools at Asia House, this includes presentations, and opportunities for networking. As young ambassadors we have to convince our guests that they should hep us to change our future. We need to convince them to believe in our cause and help in any way they can.

Lisa Ye, part of the Asia House welcoming team said that she wasn't daunted by the task because of, 'the sharing of responsibility and the excellent organisation skills of the manager.' Her job role involves greeting guests, giving them what they need for the evening and giving brief introductions to the 2020 programme.

Another young ambassador is Luke Munday of the Catering department, his work experience in hotel catering makes him the perfect candidate for the role, although he said that, 'if this was at school, I wouldn't have volunteered, the 2020 scheme has helped me to meet like minded people and try new things.'
All ambassadors are working hard to make the event a success tomorrow.
