Retreat and dinner

I had a rather packed Vesak day weekend, with the teacher's retreat yesterday and the 17-up fellowship dinner this evening. Maybe will start with the teacher's retreat first. I felt that it was really good because not only did we learn more on how to teach the children and get their attention, we also got to know each other better. The teaching by Priscilla was useful as well and even though it was only a one-day retreat, I was glad that I had gone for it. And not to mention that the food was also very scrumptious.

For most of the group and workshop sessions, we sat according to the age groups that we are teaching so that we can share and learn from each other. As we sat there sharing with each other, I started thinking about how it is a blessing to be teaching alongside dedicated teachers like them. Perhaps the people that you're working with really does make a difference after all.

Another Vesak day. A year had passed.
