MY STORY.

we are hungry, but they are starving!

Wednesday, June 15, 2011♥

haven't been blogging for the past i-don't-know-how-many-days.

my bad.

this post shan't be long.

just gonna tell ALL OF YOU GUYS, what i'll be doing for the coming weekend =D

as the photo says everything, YES!

i'm gonna be a facilitator for 30 hour famine camp 2011! =D

survived through the faci training + dry run :D

Day 0 starts on thursday, a final dry run + training & we're all set for camp on friday!

before i start "uttering" all my excitement for the camp,

shall give a short intro on what 30 hour famine camp is all about =D

30 hour Famine Camp is a fundraiser organized by World Vision where youth participants go without food for 30 hours straight.

They will be doing a series of activities, simulating the life of an individual in a third world country.

To make a stand against global hunger, injustice & poverty.

A worldwide event that will impact lives and benefit both the participants and the people who are living in poverty.

So what is World Vision about?

World Vision is a

"Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice." (obtained from their website)

They serve all people regardless of age, gender, religion, race, differences.

and their work extends to more than 100million people in nearly 100 countries.

VERY meaningful right? =D

I'll leave the rest for you guys to read =D

Anyway, back to topic.

i'll be facilitating in the camp! (excitment x100000000000000000000000)

Frankly speaking, i've never participated in 30 hour famine camp before. Neither have i fasted for >8 hours before. (the last time i fasted for 8 hours was for my church)

But, i don't know why, this time, i'm really excited for it because i know that it is going to be a very very very very meaningful camp and i'll learn a lot from it.

I wonder what my group would be like since it consists of people from various schools. ranging from sec 3s - JC. (y)

I hope that they will all be niceeeeeee and sweet people =D

My "journey" to become a facilitator:

Interview

it was a very very short interview.

asking us "troubleshooting questions" and getting our responses.

Briefing us on the dates for training.

that's all >.<

Facilitator training:

A lecture on what world vision does and a bit of info on famine camp + our roles and duties.

Ice breaker (a very cute one) LOL.

Workshop on facilitation (very useful i tell you~)

A talk by a guy.. (i forgot his name) but confirm is someone very important in world vision. =D

Dry Run:

Went through Phase 1,2,4

i cannot leak out the details of the phases because the camp is not over yet! =D

shall take photos during the camp and show you guys (hopefully i remember)

This coming thursday, DAY 0 ! =D
