Green Workshop

Hey ho everyone :)

A few days ago we had our first off campus activity for the semester which was the Green Workshop, an environmental workshop for refugee children.

Alhamdulillah, everyone had a blast with the children, and it seems that the kids had a lot of fun too ^^

Seriously, I have to make a mental note to myself to take extra supplements + red bull or something when I'm working with kids cuz they are crazy hyper! At first only the older kids (teenage boys) were talking to us and making jokes..but as we got to spend more time with them even the smaller kids were getting more and more excited. I wasn't really involved with the facilitating (was running up & down making sure everything was OK) but I can tell it wasn't easy handling those kids.. Phew..

We have the usual jumping and squealing, but also the more 'petah' or talkative kids who were chittering non-stop. Some of them even said the games were too easy and they wanted tougher games.. so yeah, basically they were like 'more! more! MORE!' o_o

We finished late noon and by that time you can tell that the facilitators were 'slowing down' too :P

Even so, they were still spending time with the kids, which was really what I was hoping they would do. I remember in the van we were still talking about the kids. We got to learn a lot about them- some of them are super smart (I got the feeling like jeez this kids gonna go way further than me when he's my age), some who are really interested in the environment :) and we also got to know a bit more about their personal lives too...

So here's a pic of us at the end of the program. I wanna thank everyone who came that day; Aliaa, Aqmar, Fitra & Atiqah; Qistina, Mizah & Anisul, Alya and her gang- Amirah, Faiz, Shafiq, Rifdi; Kak Dayah, Fifa & Suri, Atikah & Azrul, and last but not least Asna :)
Also a big thanks goes to those who helped planning, all the bureaus and the mainboard who were involved..

..and to those who didn't participate, you guys rugi besar ^_^

Enjoy the picture :) Till then...

Be green!
