GIRL'S ROOM
Facilitators, it is not easy to be a facilitator. Infact, it is a hard task if you are assigned to be a facilitator. You should be the role model who are younger than you. You will be the leader among your group because two facilitator will be assigned each group. You should be open to your group so that the participants will also open up within the group. Just by merely llistening to them, they will appreciate it because you are interested on what they are saying.
Like during breakfast, lunch and dinner time, you should be always with them and have fun so that they won't feel sad especially the participants because they don't know yet who are their group mates. You are the one who will look and guide in your group. In praying, facilitators should ask within the paeticipants who will pray the opening prayer and also the closing prayer. In this way, they will have the self confident and being shy will soon be vanished.
Do you know how and where do the faciliators sleep? Just like I have said, it is not easy to be a facilitator. When we are about to sleep, we will have a short meeting even though we are very tired and sleepy. We have our own pillow and blanket but the bed? We don't have one. We just have the "Banig" and we even just place our blanket on the floor and that will be our bed.
Some faciliators are sleeping while they are sitting and worst some are not sleeping anymore and that is the way on how and where we sleep. We sacrifice it just for the paeticipants. Of course, the paticipants have more comfortable place to sleep and their room are even air condition.
In the morning, we will have a short worship and a prayer then we will wake up the participants. They will be our first concern. And when it is time for us to have one to ones with our participants, whatever we talk about, it should not be open to everyone but it will be always between you and your participants. We are not allowed to advise them because we are not the one who will actually make decisions for them. We will ask them among the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit and this will be their guide for them to their problems.
We are the one who sacrifice for the participants to have a comfortable venue. But as the days past, these participants will also do what does a facilitator is doing.
