Becoming a Facilitator

     Last weekend, all of my knowledge and training gained from the "Potential Leaders Camp & Training for Facilitators" were used fully. I, as a member of Peer Helpers UTP, was chosen as one of the facilitators for the Foundation Team Building camp (Foundateam) for the Foundation Jan 2011 students. The camp was held at Kem PLKN Teluk Rubiah. I never regret of going there.

     I was actually in charge of becoming a Group facilitator. Which means every module done, I have to guide them and help them if they need it. It was fun of becoming Group 4 facilitator, which they gave the name Pathfinders. Such an interesting name.

     On Friday night they had Nightwalk. Which they let off group by group. Oh I forgot to tell you guys that there were 12 groups. Each consisting of around 16 persons. And two groups will combine to become one Platoon to go for that night walk (Group 1 with 2, Group 3 with 4...etc). So there's 6 Platoons. And I'm in charge for Platoon B with the Group facilitator of Group 3. The nightwalk ended around 3am. So tiring that time. I have to follow them in the woods and it's not a short journey.

     That day I slept at 3.30am and have to wake up at 6am. The head Facilitator woke us up. Thank god if not I will for sure wake up around noon. HAHA. That day which was Saturday, is full day filled with activities. The outdoor activities was conducted by the PLKN Trainers. The outdoor activities started from 8am till 6pm. But there's Morning Break, Lunch and Tea Break in between. One of my personal favourite outdoor activity was the Flying Fox. I like to go on it again sometime. HAHA

     That night is the performance night of each Platoon. Some got Drama, Boria and Dikir Barat as their performance, but my platoon which was Platoon B got Choral Speaking. It's quite entertaining but not as energetic as Drama and others. But they still did a good job though.

     On Sunday, there's nothing much to do. They only had one module which was Communication Module. Then it's a sharing session with UTP Alumni. After that  it's closing ceremony which was closed by...errr...what's his name? I forgot. HAHA. Then it's snapping pictures time and then lunch. Then it's departure time. We arrive at UTP around 3pm.

     And that's the not so interesting story of my first time of becoming a facilitator. A tiring but enjoyable thing to do. But what I like the most is, at least I get to know our juniors closer. Awww <3 HAHA
