Today was the last day of the Centre Team meeting. It started early with yoga again, and after breakfast, we had more reflections and team-building activities (it's been interesting and helpful to see what resources people bring from different parts of the world).
Later on, we all broke up into working groups and came up with some excellent ideas for Sangam. My group worked on creating a Sangam World Centre page on Facebook. Become a fan! We got 100 fans in less than 12 hours. Everyone at Sangam has worked together to help spread the word--the centre team, staff, programme volunteers, CVPs, program participants, independent guests...everyone! It's been really amazing watching live as the site grows, one fan at a time, from all over the world--this is WAGGGS in action. If we could do this, imagine what else we can do!!
We finished the meeting this afternoon, and everyone in the Sangam family joined us for a beautiful closing ceremony. Two of the team members from India left today--one to Mumbai and the other to Kashmir. I will head out tomorrow with another team member. It's sad to leave, but I know I'll be back! The day ended with a dip in the pool for an exciting game of volleyball. It was a blast to let loose after several days of meetings. Being on the Centre Team has been awesome so far, and I'm looking forward to a great year ahead.
Phir Milenge, Sangam!
Hi! Thanks for your blog, it's fascinating! I'm so incredibly interested in Girl Scouts/WAGGGS international opportunities and hope to learn more.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd let you know but I can't find the Sangam page on facebook... perhaps I should be searching for something other than "sangam?"
Did you look up "Sangam World Centre?" Our fan page should have a photo of Sangam's pool with people in the shape of a "100" to celebrate the centenary. Hope you can find it! :)
ReplyDeletefound it, thanks! I'm not sure how I searched wrong the first time!
