The long awaited annual gathering 2010 took off yesterday! We gather the students at one of our cooperating schools for a three days meeting in order to get to know them, bond with them and have them experience inspiring role models. All students came! Yesterday's key note speaker was Jack from ISMAT (International school of Medicine and applied technology). The students sure had many questions concerning careers after secondary school! It's good they start making up their mind - there will be 22 candiates next year and it is high time to find a solution for them. The students got also highly inspired by Jared from Tembea Youth Group, who taught them the basics of entrepreneurship. They then had to come up with a business idea and work on it in groups. Later that day, I challenged the students by requesting them to compose a song for Teach a Child, write a poem, tell a story or play a sketch.
Today the students received a training in public speaking, listened to an inspirational speech about academic excellence and received valuable advice on boy-girl relationships. Our days are packed and long, there is almost no time to rest. But guess what I heard tonight after a late supper? When I passed by the students' dorms I heard many of them singing. The students were actually rehearsing the TaC-song they will present tomorrow! Now, I really can't wait to hear it...
