Today was great. After a review session, to which everyone expected turned up on time, Alia and Sarah did a phenomenal job of the Marketing Workshop. This was by far the longest workshop, and yet they handled it so well, it went better than any of us could have asked for. The participants were so engaged the entire time, they were constantly taking notes (especially Frank!) as well as asking questions of the intricacies of the Marketing World.
Even at the very end, after two intense hours of hard learning, they were laughing and making suggestions throughout the skit that Sarah, Josie and Alia created.
After, we had an equally productive Break Out Session that resulted in5 marketing surveys being created as well as two other participants working towards other parts of their business plans.
Because we had a long, tiring day that used up far too much brain power, we played soccer (football) with a number of the participants. We were more entertainment fodder than useful players, but everyone had a good time none the less (the youth were actually constantly encouraging us, even though our skills were somewhat lacking). Teaching them how to play Frisbee was somewhat redemptive and fun at the same time.
It is really neat to see how much more comfortable everyone is becoming; cartoon- or william but on a lady's wig and pretended to be his cousin for us- it was great.
This has gone so well so far, and I am so proud of all of us (the youth and the team) for working so hard to make this happen, and make it amazing.
Day 3 out.
