On Saturday, I spent my morning to noon at the International Youth Centre ( IYC ) in Cheras for the Earth Iternity workshop. We were there to supervise things actually. I reached Bandar Tun Razak at about 9.15 and straightaway got in a taxi.
We ( me and Jihan ) went into the hall as Mr. Sarbuland Khan was delivering his speech. Aida and Amir were already there so we joined them at their table. Later on Aida took us to the room since Amir's session will start at 11.30. We watched a Malay movie, which the theme was about teacher ( in conjunction with Teacher's Day ). But sadly, the story was trash ( oopps sorry, Mr. T.S Jefferey ).The story was produced without proper research ( I guess ) because a lot of crucial elements have been neglected.
We went to the hall but the participants were not there... and while waiting for them, Amir jokingly asked us to identify the state flag as well as foreign countries' flag. Then Amir gave out his talk and it generated a very healthy discussion among the participants. As the session ended, some of the participants approached Amir to discuss more on the issue that had been put forward earlier.
It was rather liberating to listen to the teens' experiences such as going through war, being diasbled and many more.
