Over the past few weeks, our Recycling group has been pretty active. We've been been working on quite a few things during our sessions ranging from creating Recycling boxes, to visiting the Recycling center to hand over the items. One of our primary goals had been to restock the teachers with new recycling boxes since a few of the teachers required new, or bigger recycling boxes. And so if there was any spare time remaining after our Recycling session, we headed over to Mr. Lockwood's room and started work on decorating the boxes. This was a rather engaging activity since it allowed us to
collaborate amongst one another and also get to know the other members better as we were all gathered at the same spot. Plus there was also the creativity aspect to it in terms of the ways we decorated the boxes.
A rather memorable experience that comes to mind was one that took place 2 weeks ago. The day started off as usual; we were able to collect the materials to recycle and loaded it all into the truck but the sole difference being that I was to go alone to the Recycling center this week, which was a first for me since I'm normally accompanied by Yoon Jae, the co-leader. While being the only person there to unload the materials wasn't a very constraining ordeal since I had the help of Mr. Ranjish to unload the boxes, it was pretty refreshing to have that added sense of responsibility while there and to be able to be in-charge of the way things went. And so while it wasn't that big of a deal, the experience was pretty new and enjoyable.
Below are a few pictures taken during the session:
