Lasallian Friends in Touch: May 2009

We have 2 sharings here. One from Rinesh, the chairperson for this year's Southern Region Lasallian Convention.

I think every OT and fasi will say Aiye with me when it comes to the experience and tonnes of fun in Southern Regional Convention. It was a very new experience not only for the delegates, the new OTs, the experienced OTs but even for the super experienced OTs. ehem ehem.....

This year, even with few minor hiccups, the convention really went on strong and managed to make a strong impact on the delegates from these 3 different schools. The delegates were very friendly and jovial this year. They did know when to speak, respond and react. This gave them an extra edge to understand better about the convention theme, Break Walls, Build Bridges.

Being an OT will sure to tire you up throughout the convention, but the spirit and the helping hand from all my fellow beloved OTs really got me through easily and also while I was having fun. The OTs were simply AWESOME! Not to mention the ever busy and helpful Facilitators and Isaac.All in all, I'm not sure bout the other regionals, but southern regionals really gave me an impact to last in my memories and to keep me going throughout this whole year.

The other sharing is from someone who chooses to remain anonymous. Here it goes.

It was a GREAT GREAT experience to be part of the organizing team. Although it was my first time, I never once felt like a stranger at all because the people there made it so easy for me. They were all friendly, helpful and fun too. Oh and they were all very CO-OPERATIVE. They taught me so much, like how to not be nervous speaking in front of the participants (I was a day chair then). Apart from what they taught me, I also learnt to be more responsible. I was in charge of finance, so handling all the money was not easy and very risky (kinda easy actually, I exaggerating only).I had a lot of fun there too. Like the games and singing. Oh I also enjoyed all the affirmations I’ve got. One of the participants wrote me a lyric from one of Taylor Swift’s song (Love Story). Kinda cheeky but I like it. Conclusion, both thumbs-up for the experience!!!
