Andaman Medical Philippines Team's Fun-Filled Bonding Experience at Riverdale Outdoor Camp 🌄

The Andaman Medical Philippines (AMP) Team recently embarked on a short trip to the Riverdale Outdoor Camp in Alfonso, Cavite, where they engaged in a series of activities designed to help relax, provide some fun and strengthen their bond and camaraderie.

The activities were a huge success, with Ms. Melody's team emerging victorious against Ms. Ivy's team in an exciting 3-2 match, proving that a little friendly competition can go a long way in bringing people together. The team also had quality time bonding over a delicious dinner. After the feast, the team also exchanged stories, building a closer connection with each other.

In the morning, after a delicious spread of a boodle fight breakfast and a quick dip in the pool to cool off, the team headed back to the office, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the week's tasks with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

The trip was a testament to the power of team building and the importance of taking time to connect with colleagues on a personal level. By sharing these moments, the AMP Team is better equipped to work together more effectively and support each other in their respective roles, all while having a blast in the process!

A hearty meal to lift the spirit
