After a somewhat formal welcome and distribution of gifts, gradually the sceptical ones seemed to relax and enjoy themselves. Jill presented her gift to each consultant, personally thanked them and warmly welcomed them to the Project Team. The individually selected gifts were received with much pleasure. Then the gift giving between consultants began. Kelvin retrieved the gifts from under the ‘giving tree’ and each recipient listened while the gift giver read the poem they had written for them. In a lovely touch, some chose to kneel to listen to their poems and receive their gifts. There was much delight in the gifts.
