3 more days

i've just experienced the TRY Summer Youth Camp, organised for the Sangguniang Kabataan officials of Bago City, and the BHBH4. it was fun, i had fun with all the people, and i think i've opened up more to the rest of the TRY members. :)

i think the TRY members have put in a lot of effort to make the camp possible and trying their best to run the camp smoothly. but it requires full cooperation from the participants as well, and sadly, i didn't see that happening. in fact, the cultural night last night started 2 hours behind time, because the participants were late and claimed they did not have enough time for their preparation. i'll be honest, the camp is meant to be a training ground for all members, especially the SK members, for they are the youths representing their barangays and perhaps they will be leaders in future. but i did not see them being able to cope with challenges and having the responsibility to assume their duties as a camper. i'm a little disappointed, but i hope they will learn from this experience.

putting those aside, i really enjoyed mingling with the people and the children. a good chance for me to practise my Tagalog and Ilonggo. haha. it was really enjoyable working with the rest of the TRY members, although i admit i didn't do much being a facilitator of the camp, as compared to the other facilitators. and i've gotten more nicknames. bleahz.

i've also distributed about 150 packs of stationery to the children who came for the feeding program during the camp. not all children received the stationery sets, but at least i tried making most of them happy. :)

wednesday is coming real fast. very soon i'll leaving again, but yes, i'll definitely be back. someday. haa.
