Build a ladder to the sky.
I went to a two-day workshop in school for the organization I joined in. I'm a member of the Kabulig organization. To roughly put it, "bulig" is Hiligaynon for "help"... so, basically, this org delves into service for the less fortunate brothers and sisters. The Kabulig organization is divided into smaller groups like Bahay Pag-asa, Gawad Kalinga, Catechism, Little Voices, Red Cross, Lasallian Peace Corps, Drugwatch, and Young Teachers of La Salle, which I'm part of, as co-head.
The first day of the workshop started at about 9 in the morning. The focus was more on team building activities and bonding moments. We ended at about 7:30 PM, after having a so-called 'Solidarity Night', where each of our groups had to present some sort of entertainment to the Kabulig staff. Some danced, sang, acted, or did all three. The second and last day centered on the planning of activities and projects for the coming school year. That morning, we had a short talk given by Gawad Kalinga ( Bacolod Chapter). They showed us some videos relating to GK villages, and what GK was really all about. Each member of each organization had to report their proposed plans in the afternoon. It went smoothly. Everyone had about 11 projects lined up. Those are difficult tasks to fulfill. I mean, achieving about five of them would already be a large impact for the Kabulig organization!
I'm a bit tired right now. These past few weeks of May have been a hassle for me. There were C.A.T. meetings, then, there was this, and now I am anticipating another C.AT. meeting on June 5 to prepare for our recollection on June 8. It's getting pretty hectic already. And to think that I might be joining Crossroads again this year... I'm having second thoughts. I might not have enough time to write for my column in the paper! XD
*__* I am not a robot. Hahaha.
I can do this.
