Hi! I am Dhir. Yesterday was my very first day of GINila 2014 and I, personally, found it great. We went through icebreaker games and groupings to start with. I found the leaders very encouraging which made me feel welcomed. After some introductions, we went straight to a simulation called ‘The NGO Game’, which allowed us to see what it was like to work as an NGO and the struggles smaller NGO’s face when against larger ones. There were also smaller, more simpler things that we learnt such as the fact that larger NGO’s tend to be quite selfish. This activity let me get closer to some of the delegates both from my school and other schools. Overall the first day turned out to be amazing, learning from people from around Manila and being able to hear all about their passion for sustainability.
