YOG learning center training

Just finished my two days YOG learning center training yesterday.. and guess what the batch of volunteers is the pioneer batch of the learning center. Really had alot of fun and learn lots of things from this volunteering. The trainers were able to turn the theory of service-learning into games which we can have fun while learning. We had a 'nuclear bomb' game where we learn about GRPR(Goals, roles, processes and relationships. Through this game, I also learn about team work.

I also learnt how to challenge our limits during the training. Often, we always thought we can't succeed in things without willing to give ourselves a chance to try. For me, I will feel uncomfortable talking to strangers but yesterday I really challenge myself. I went to this total stranger who was selling tissues and give him a water bottle and he accepted it. It wasn't that difficult that I thought it would be. We also played games like traffic jam. Its really a different kind of training which you normally will go through. Volunteering is not about the monetary terms that matters, is about things you can do for your society and what you do gain in terms of the experience.

I urge all of you to join YOG or other volunteering work if you can. Its really a different experience altogether.
