SolarGen at Youth Side Event
Thursday 6 Dec 2007
by Woon SG-Thailand
It was such a busy day where I participated in the face painting activity, helped with our P-Bear wandering activity, and joined an Asian Youth meeting right before the youth side event started at 8pm. The activities were as long as the given sentence. I must admit that after the meeting, I felt totally tired but I was scheduled to deliver a short presentation about SolarGeneration along with Razcel at the youth side event. At the point, I really wondered whether I will be able to speak properly for the presentation. Well, the show must go on; and it was not that bad. We gave the over all picture of SolarGeneration and selected 3 countries to show our activities: SG-Philippines, SG-Thailand, and newly launched SG-Indonesia.
Yet, more interestingly, we all had a chance to know many other youth groups from all around the globe. Different continents, different cultures, different activities, we all share the mission to protect our future from climate change threats. Some groups are rather advanced in their organizations and projects while some others are struggling to lay down foundation. Regardless location and level of experience, we were willing to listen and share what we have. Lessons learnt were shared. Connections were made.
