We met up at Manchester Airport on the morning of the12th November excited about the 10 days ahead. This was the first time that we had met as a team, but any apprehension was soon gone as we got to know other quickly and seamlessly. Early on we adopted different roles and responsibilities that have successfully seen us through as a team to date. As the theme of our time in Alabama has centred around building coalitions it has been fascinating to reflect on how we have built our own coalition throughout this time!
Arriving in our hotel in Atlanta late Saturday evening, we had an overnight stay before meeting colleagues from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Graydon Yatabe and Kenitra Robinson. In addition to his many talents Graydon acted as our very own chauffeur as we travelled the 2 hours south-west to Birmingham, Alabama.
Before we arrived at our Birmingham destination we stopped at a local eatery to show our support for the owner. The owner of Max's delicatessen on Colonnade Parkway [http://maxsdelionline.com/index.html] says he is fearful of losing his entire nine-member kitchen crew due to Alabama's new immigration law.
[12th / 13th November]
