 Seoul Activity and Facilitator Training Session

20070512_IMGP1781.JPG We were in Seoul for 4 days to have meeting with Cathy and Gee-Un, Acitivity on Saturday, and Training Session. Cathy and her assistant Gee-Un are both wonderful, very quick to respond, and understand our needs without many words. So we reorganized all children's works into files, sort out boxes of materials, and it looked very nicely after 3 hours of work. On Saturday, we changed the starting formation how we held the introduction, the group time. New formation which was a nice round circle helped how activity started. Amazingly, this really had a great impact even during the omnibus time.

We will hold another in Tokyo this weekend, one in Mie next week Friday, then in Kyoto on Sunday. Running the training session required lots of strength for me as it takes about 4-5 hours. But to see those who participated all having great fun, it also gives me a joy. Lately we get many college students as facilitator volunteers. In Kyoto, we have many male participants, where in Seoul, they are mostly female.
