Today's journey :)

Today weiling and i we conducted a workshop on self management in the area of managing our finance and to persevere in our planning. A continuation from yest's workshop.

The challenge when we were planning was not language barrier but culture. The cambodians youths are simple-minded and things have to be put across simple and direct. Content had to be cut down greatly cause they will not be able to understand but to have simple and yet deep take home points. Simple in terms of content but deep enough for them to apply in their lives and that it is relevant. We had to replace most of the content with activities and games, and to focus on key debriefing take home points at the end. It was challenging but fun to plan and also how God expand our creativity and also enabled us to bridge the gap.

To teach the cambodians the importance of saving, planning and prioritising we came up with a game with different scenarios over a span of '10 years' and they had to work, go to school, go church, fall sick and go market to buy food. It was interesting but chaotic. The activity was finalised quite last minute as we had to take note of some of the culture differences and also their way of living. Many impromptu things and it was a little bit chaotic but overall i think the main points were drove in. Through this activity we also managed to bring in some christian values and also the importance of growing their relationship with God.

Physically quite tired already :) but God is sustaining me and keeping my energy level up! :) continue to keep us in prayer for protection :) Excitied about tonight's workshop on follow-up :) Cause there are a few female leaders around who are really serious about God and i hope to be able to share more with them and impart to them.
