Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative

Today started out great! It was much more relaxed. Everyone met around the island, and didn't need to be asked to meet in the clubhouse. We simply all met up there--talked to each other a bit and got started on the day. We went over the guidelines once again; Safe-Space, Participation, No Hippos (they crash the sim), and One Mic. Rafi and Lori had a bit of trouble with the new Global Kids T-Shirts. But after a few minutes we finally got them.

Every camper was then asked to move to a cool dance party; that Tin and Brooke set up for us. But there was a glitch! We had a bouncer, and only a few people could get in. We had to be creative to try and figure out a way to get into the party! After a bit of fun and dancing everyone met up in the club. We even had balloons!

Lori then asked us to stop dancing, and to come and see her for a minute or two. We went over and spoke about what happened during the activity for a few minutes. We went over why different people were turned down; and what it felt like. We were then asked what we think everyone in the world should have access to (in our opinions).

Lori expressed that she wanted us to come up with a defination for 'Human Rights'. So we had many, many opinions.

We then got time to work on our group projects--we were given about a half hour. The presentations came next. They were awesome! Group Three did a nice presentation on Genocide, and Darfur. Group three included Ryan Dayton, Kaira, Tecno, and Josan. Group two was up next, they had a great presentation on poverty. This group included; Nate, Tin, Spunky, and Ryan Mauriac. Up next was Team six! It contained Malarthi, Theo, TheCoolLeader, and Keleus. Their build focused on conflict; and involved two super-sized target dummies.

We wrapped up the week with a nice speach from Lori. I am personally enjoying the camp very much, and can't wait to see what the weeks to come bring. I would like to make a small note that I will be going on a vacation; and I will TRY to attend as much camp as I can while I am gone; however my posts may not cover the entire session. I will make a note if I have missed anything. Have a nice weekend everyone!
