AURINS, EN VERDES AND BALAYS.

by Gil Troy Meren
The end of my first semester is approaching, and I had nothing planned for my first college semestral break. Then, I learned that there will be a CSIW 2010 which was on the first week of my break. I decided to go, since I’ve always wanted to join PSYSC after high school.
It was my second time to be a facilitator of PSYSC in an event (the first was in the Tri-Regional Summit 2010) and it was like a breath of fresh air. After my term as an RC, I’ll be a facilitator again, which is a good thing. But being a facilitator is also a challenge. I need to go out of my comfort zone and be as dynamic as possible around people, which I am the opposite.
I vividly remember the first day I met my aurins, the kids. Inside the auditorium, hundreds of students, teachers and parents are seated. As the speakers started to announce the balay gathering, I was panicking already because I am thinking of ways to be friendly and to keep the kids busy. I instinctively gave out a smile and looked at each of the kids’ faces as I started to introduce myself. By this time, the whole auditorium was noisy out of all the excitement. This day was designated to serve as a form of getting close to the kids and themselves so that the following days will be smooth-sailing. I looked at the kuyas and ates and I saw that they are all smiling and seem to enjoy what they’re doing. That gave me hope to do better and eventually, I found myself opening up to them, telling a joke or two, and used the group activity toys in the ever-trusty faci kit.
As a facilitator, we slept late at night (because of the nightly general meetings so that the event stays on track) and wake up early (to prepare for the day’s event). It was very stressful and the cold climate didn’t help. I started to miss my family, our house, and our dogs. However, I told myself that I shouldn’t be thinking of such things; I decided to go to CSIW and be a faci; I shouldn’t be complaining and whining.
The first and second days were both though. I tried to get closer to each kid and get to know them while doing lots of fun activities together. Some of my kids were quite active and sociable, some were quiet while the others were equally active but needs to be perked up first. I actually got angry and irritated quickly but during those times, I learned to forget those negative traits because I know what will happen if ever I burst out to them. I always thought of myself in their position. Doing those things really helped and because of that, all of us all became friends as I observed during the seminars and the games. It was all worth it.
The day of the field trip is my most favorite. I know that I am most paranoid of the fact that we need to take care and guide these 30 kids during the trip and to always check if they’re complete but all of that was replaced by the thoughtfulness and honesty they showed me.
Among the different places we went to, I have gone to Picnic Grove the most and know its landmarks by heart. I promised the kids that I’ll tour them around so that they’ll see the places they might have not been into. During the tour, all of them mostly run and run and I had to follow each one and remind to follow me or else they’ll get lost. We went to the farther parts of the place: the hanging bridge, the forest, and the best spot to see Taal Volcano. I planned to visit the three until I forgot one particular thing about Picnic Grove; it was that on the way after the forest, visitors had to climb a very steep path lined with cottages and pine trees and I had kids with me. I never considered that they might have asthma and might ventilate out of tiredness. Fortunately, we were able to see the best spot, even though everyone was complaining that we should just rest for a minute and look at the picturesque view. When we reached the top there were shops that sold souvenirs and refreshments. All of us were really tired and exhausted and it was great because when I counted them, they were all complete! That really brightened my day and we proceeded to the bus and we had a little group picture.
We went to the Gardenia Plant also and went back to the venue. On the way home, the kids became energetic again because they had time to rest and we just all goofed around which made our bus very noisy but we all enjoyed it. We laughed and told stories until everyone got tired again and slept.
The fourth and final day came, and I never thought that I’ll be both happy and sad at the same time. It was the awarding ceremony and most of my aurins were there and we all watched the program. As the program went on, the kids’ teachers were calling them as they will go home. Each one said goodbye to me with sad faces but I know that they all enjoyed the whole event. Beforehand, we all exchanged contact details to keep in touch during the activities and also after the CSIW. They still text up to today. As the program ended, I looked back at my balay and saw only two were there. One of these kids is PR or Phillip Richard who made a mark as being the noisiest, the clown of the group and the most pasaway. I admit that he irritated me at first but I realized that during all of the activities, he never left my side no matter how naughty he was, like in the last day. I thought he already left but he said that he was waiting for me. That really made me smile. So I took a picture of them which is still with me. That moment was one the things I’ll always cherish during CSIW.
Although being a facilitator for four days was hard, I learned a lot from the experience which I think can only be called as “magic”. First, I can’t believe that I can be myself in front of these kids I just met and do the crazy stuff I only do with friends and family. That really gave me a better self-confidence; no more shyness and hesitation. Second, I realized that there are far more important things to learn beyond academics and sports; to be sociable and active which will really help you in the outside world. It has always been a problem of mine to be easily shy and be antisocial whenever I’m with a lot of people whom I don’t know but CSIW made me think twice about it.

After my CSIW experience, my decision to be with PSYSC became firmer. It’s just that I decided to adjust to college life first before joining formally because the call of volunteerism never left me. I know still have a lot of things to improve on to be a better facilitator but I will always thank this experience because I grew up and became more mature through the help of the aurins of Balay Luntian.

A Catalyst for Change

By John Ezekiel Tagorda

Change is the only absolute in the world and that fact remains. The youth of our generation today has come a long long way. Unfortunately, we are regressing. We lack the guts of working on behalf of others or a particular cause without anything in return. We are deficient in valor of pursuing careers. We need to reawaken our spirits; the spirit of volunteerism and heroism.

“Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless” (Sherry Anderson). The PSYSC or Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs is a duly recognized student organization which inculcates the importance of science, technology and environment (ST&E) to elementary and high school students all over the country. It has remained steadfast in its thrust and annually organizes several fun-filled ST&E activities for this nation’s young scientists to participate. Many volunteers are known to be members of this organization and they dedicate their time and effort without getting paid in return.

Volunteering needs causes and advocacies. In view of the fact that there are many groups or organizations like PSYSC that gives the youth opportunities for them to improve their skills, to meet others, to make contacts for possible employment, to have fun, and a variety of other reasons that could be considered self-serving; awareness is a great factor. Awareness leads to ideas of how to revolutionize the world for the better. These elements may be catalysts to revive the volunteering fortitude of youth. Truly it takes a single spark to light up a fire.

"If you look inside yourself, and you believe, you can be your own hero" (Mariah Carey). Heroism may come in different forms and perspectives. It may be the characteristic of having or displaying qualities of heroes. It could also be behavior that is impressive and ambitious in scale or scope. In my PSYSC experience, many heroic deeds were made known to children who helped them a lot to be familiarized to our Mother Earth’s state. We are the hope for the future; we are the ones responsible and capable for saving our environment. Through this medium, intrepidness was implied.

Two years ago, I was one of the students aspiring to be one of the facilitators of The Children Science Interactive Workshop or CSIW. I was one of students hoping to gain knowledge during lectures, doing workshops, socializing with my co-sub campers, making friends and dreaming of becoming a facilitator. This all started with a phone call, a call which served as a great antecedent for the resurgence of my volunteering and heroic spirit. Just recently, the National Children’s Interactive Workshop 2010 fulfilled my dream by giving me the chance to be one of the 26 Facilitators of the sub camps. This CSIW event has triggered a fraction of what I am to do on my own volition and other gutty deeds.

“Volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale. And it matters profoundly” -President Bill Clinton. Volunteerism and heroism goes hand in hand in many ways. Volunteerism is a reflection of heroism. One of which is the aftermath of volunteering, if a person volunteers he can make a difference and take action to change the world around him. This is the main goal of heroism, to make a change, to help for the benefit of others and to work enthusiastically without anything in return. We can help even in our own little ways; maybe these ways can be our means to make a difference.

When you volunteer you become a hero. This was one of the lessons I’ve learned as I enjoyed my stay in Tagaytay for CSIW. I sacrificed my semestral break just for this event. I exerted effort and energy just to join this occasion thus showing the true character of volunteerism. Heroes inspire and amaze many people as facilitators like me do inspire and amazes students in Interactive workshops. Facilitators like me also save the environment as a part of the PSYSC thrust which is the public understanding of science technology and environment. We are heroes.

A hero may not be considered a hero if he doesn't willingly give himself for the service of others. Without a doubt, heroes can never be heroes unless they are volunteers. At the first place, heroes such as those in movies are really volunteers. It is their own will their own prerogative to do what they want to do. Volunteerism works because people willingly give their time and effort for a good cause or idea. These people dedicate their energies, may it be intellectual or physical, to further spread that cause. Heroism works in the same way, whereas the hero, albeit alone, gives everything of himself in defining and defending a nation, an idea, or people.

Now I know that I became a volunteer and a hero at the same time. It is a persona that will be a guide for my fellow youth; to set good example and help others reawaken their spirit; to revive others spirits as well in my volunteering and heroic ways. Our future depends on our own hands, especially to us who have early stages in life. At present is our formative years, we still have the prospect to change; let us not wait for us to be distorted when it’s already too late.

My stay in Tagaytay was very worthwhile; I learned in this place how greatly volunteerism is related to heroism. Due to this dynamic CSIW event I hope that more people would join such events and be able to truly understand volunteerism and heroism.

We can say we are heroes because we volunteer for a cause that goes to the greater good of the Filipino youth. With this I will end up my essay with “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt

My First Encounter with the CSIW

By Demi Abaniel

Days before the CSIW 2010, everyone was still busy with all the last-minute preparations to do. I had to learn the dance routine. To tell you the truth, I am not a dancer. I detest activities where I have to dance. Thanks to my co-dancers, the audience will not notice me. I have mixed emotions about the upcoming CSIW 2010. This is not the first time I have facilitated an event but this is the first time I will handle children. I was a bit scared that I might do something wrong and fail the event’s organizers. I was also a bit nervous that I might not meet their expectations for me as a facilitator. I am also worried about all the stuff I still have to do. However, to top all of the emotions gruelling inside my body, excitement took the rest of me. It is hard to digest the fact that there are more or less 900 participants composed of teachers and elementary students we have to handle.

When we met our aurines or “anaks”, I felt a slight sense of confusion. I did not know how to make the first move. I was torn between the friendly approach and the slightly strict tactic. I wanted to know them and become their big sister but not that close for I might not get their respect. Then, I realized these children spent their money, time, and effort to come here and have fun so I might as well throw the strict technique and just be me. Luckily, my anaks accepted my imposed hand signals and me. Although they already showed signs of exhaustion, I had no choice but to encourage them to mingle with one another. This part was not easy so I had to memorize their nicknames so that I could call and introduce them to one another. Nevertheless, in the midst of the noise, I spotted a kid that was just on his seat. I can’t just let him be alone there so I talked to him. It turned out that he was a shy boy. In order to help him, I had to pull a kid aside and introduce them to one another and the rest is history.

As the days passed, I grew closer to the kids. They were easy to deal with especially after some motivation. However, this wasn’t always the case. There were times we shared some different views especially with the time schedule of the activities. Fortunately, we were able to do some negotiation and a lot of persuasion.

At the end of this memorable event, I learned many lessons from both the people I worked with and the kids I spent time. I learned that you should just let things happen. Do not try to overdo it with the kids. They will have fun as long as you are having fun. I realized this event would not be this remarkable if it was not for these people who stood by me. No matter how tired and sleep-deprived we were, once we were up in the stage and doing the froggy dance, we were so alive and happy. That is something I would miss from CSIW 2010.

My First Faci story

Thea Colobong

Fulfilling, the best experience, superb; these words are not enough to explain what it was like being a facilitator. Having merely 2 hours of sleep for about 5 days, looking over 30 lively pupils and asking them to form their lines, the froggy dance and chicken dance to be performed everyday… these are just some of the things that I have experienced as a first time facilitator in CSIW Tagaytay.

As a first time faci I had some ideas about the things that will happen but what I experienced was far better. It was truly a privilege to be a facilitator, to experience new and good things and to be with good people who care for you. Being in CSIW for the first time was already a big challenge, added with challenge of keeping up and guiding 30 kids. Yes, being a faci was tough but the kids made my first CSIW experience light and happy. They made me feel not just their facilitator but their older sister, being there during workshops and giving words of encouragement to go on and continue, reminding them of the things to do, having lunch and dinner together, and most of all, experiencing new things together.

Being a facilitator was really worthwhile. It was good knowing that in some way they give importance to the simple things that I am able to share with them and that they also have imparted to me great things that I will never forget. My 4 days spent with these kids is really significant for me and it will always be a part of me. ^-^

A Decision that Changed My Life

By Kenneth Desegano Lagamayo

Two years ago, I was one of them. I was one of students aspiring to gain knowledge during lectures, doing workshops, socializing with my co-sub campers, making friends and dreaming of becoming a facilitator. And just recently, the National Children’s Interactive Workshop 2010 fulfilled my dream by giving me the chance to be one of the 26 En Verdes, the facilitators for CSIW 2010.
            It all started when Ate Anacel called and asked me if I was free for CSIW 2010. Remembering my ticket bound home, I did think twice. Fortunately, I said yes and I immediately arranged my schedule. The moment of excitement started there. I almost wanted to shout “Yes! Punta akong Tagaytay. Faci na ako! Woo!”
            I really like and love kids. However, my only problem is that I have very short temper and my younger brothers can prove that. Handling 28 kids as a first time facilitator would not be easy and would be my greatest challenge. I was very nervous about handling many kids because that would be a big responsibility.
            The event started with a bang during the opening program where we had to perform and be introduced. I began praying that my “anaks” in sub camp number seven (7) would like me a lot and that there would be no problem at all. During the sub camp congregation, my voice started to rattle and shake. I started to lose my focus and I even forgot the flow I planned. I was so nervous. My kids even asked me what’s wrong. 
            What I liked most about my group is the act of volunteerism that they showed me. Back then, I was very shy to volunteer and no one wanted to become the sub camp head. But with this group, there were eight kids who wanted to be the leader. I was amused and inspired with them. If only I could pick them all as sub camp leaders, I would do so. Our sub camp leader turned out to be Gelo, an English speaking kid. Whew! My English skills would be tested here. Just like the other facis, I introduced human bingo as a form of introduction for the kids. They all wanted to win the prize and they were so enthusiastic to finish the game. I was so happy to see them enjoying the game. That day I realized what the other NECAT kept on saying; just to see a smile on their faces is worth something.
Many of them contributed names for our sub camp and in the end they chose Earth Savers. They also made their own cheer. I was so blessed and proud of them because in that short period of time they have learned to cooperate with each other. I regained myself that time. I became more confident with them. As Kuya Molo and Ate Thea called sub camp by sub camp, we learned that sub camp number 2 was called New Earth Savers. I saw disappointment in their eyes. They didn’t want to have the same name and so do I. I rattled but then I realized I need to do something to unite my sub camp once again. Just before we were called they decided to change Savers to Helpers so that their cheer will still be used. From then on, we were called Earth Helpers. Good thing it worked.

There are times that I would almost break into tears and felt helpless. No one was listening. Everyone wanted to play. Everybody was being noisy. Somebody was missing. Others wanted to go to other places. Some just wanted to sleep. I almost lost my voice by giving instructions. In the end, I learned something. They are kids. I should have expected things like these. Sometimes I asked myself, “Am I a kill joy facilitator?”  I don’t know. The kids can answer that. But there is one thing I can say for sure; they enjoyed not just because of me but mostly because of themselves. They wanted to make the most of CSIW Tagaytay.
The moment I’ve seen my anaks in pain or couldn’t breathe, I always wanted to be a hero that could ease their pain or suffering. I never wanted them to suffer. I became attached to them. I received a message from one them; she was thanking me for treating them just like my own kid. I was so touched with that. I didn’t realize that my small actions made an impact in their lives.
As CSIW closes, I didn’t want to say goodbye. I didn’t want to end in tears. But I just couldn’t help it because they have become a part of my life. They have been part of many realizations. They taught me a lot of things. They gave me the best experience in life.
Being a facilitator does not end within your sub camp. You also need to help the other committees. In the end, all of you will be rewarded. This was the first time I have experienced consecutive nights with minimal sleeps. Considering I have migraine, I prayed a lot that it would not be triggered and would not make me helpless during these days. I would not want to miss the day with my anaks. God is so kind and He granted my prayers.
Before CSIW 2010 I had an option: to attend CSIW or to have my semestral break at home relaxing. Good thing I chose the right one, to attend CSIW. This decision is one of the few decisions I would never regret.  This was the most enjoyable and memorable sem break. Thanks PSYSC! Thanks CSIW! Thanks Earth Helpers!

Serving the Filipino Youth as a Facilitator

By Jan Aureo B. Bihag

“So much fun!” That was what my co-facilitator said about the whole CSIW. A week of my semester break had never been this good. At first I had doubts of confirming myself as part of the team but after thinking and considering all factors, I decided to join CSIW 2010 as my contribution as a new ECAT in this organization. That would also serve as my experience on one of the two major events of the organization every year.  I volunteered to be with the other PSYSC ECATs and serve the Filipino youth in a week that should have been my leisure and family time.

As what I have heard from other ECATs with more experience on this activity, they always said that it was tiring and haggard. But after these negative statements, they always say that CSIW is fun and fulfilling. Being curious on what they had said, it further pushed me to enter this adventure and feel the things they had said.

From the first day to the end, I have wanted to surrender. Doing things that I thought I can’t do was so hard. But after the words of inspiration from the older members, I just enjoyed every moment and took time on doing things. As I also watched the other members taking it in an enjoyable manner, I just also did my part and had fun. I was also lucky to be a part of a team with lots of experiences and lots of knowledge on the organization. It was nice to be with older generations and it was nicer to see them mingle and imparting their ideas to us new ones. 

The most haggard part in being a facilitator was the time when your kids were given to you. It was just unimaginable to have 30 elementary kids to handle for four days and taking the consideration that I was still a freshman from college. Thinking of it was tiring but doing it was fulfilling and heartwarming. Every time I was behind them, a tired and surrendering face always showed on my face but every time I was with them these things should not be shown. They should always see a fresh and happy face to encourage them to actively participate on each session. It was hard to smile on a situation when you don’t want to do it anymore but there were always times where your kids will make you smile. Each new lesson and inspiration I said to them was exchanged with a smile and joy was apparent in their faces. Each encouragement I said made them do better. That made the whole thing meaningful; imparting new ideas to kids in those ages in a fun way.

At first I didn’t understand why we needed to sleep for only two hours, why we needed to sleep at dawn and why we needed to be at our best in dealing with kids. But after seven memorable days, the main reason was serving the Filipino youth and catering them in the best way as we could.
I was once a camper and the experience was really different. Being a camper, you always enjoy and amaze on every workshop and activities the camp will offer. But being a facilitator, you could see all the angles behind each activity. Fun and amazement will always be there but problems and tiring situations are inevitable. There is always a negative for every positive. In PSYSC, negatives can always be covered with many positive and happy thoughts. I can now say that being a camper was nice but being a facilitator was the best.

              In general, CSIW was fun. CSIW was enjoyable. CSIW was heartwarming. It was fun to be part of a team where the main goal was to make the youth enjoy science in a different perspective. I was once a pupil and that’s what I’m looking for in learning. PSYSC offers it and I love to be a part of the team offering it. Being a facilitator in CSIW was one of the best experiences in my 16 years of existence.

I gotta feeling!

By Hannah Go

Excitement! Being a part of the CSIW gave me this feeling brought about by the workshops and other activities that were in store not only for the participants but also for us facilitators. On the first day, after waking up from a 4-hour sleep, there is this feeling that tells me that in the sessions’ hall there were the kids that were about to be part of my balay and the others’ balay. But I don’t think that every feeling lasts.

Exhaustion! I felt really tired right after the subcamp congregation and the activities after this. It was so stressful knowing that some children weren’t listening from my directions and by not being able to control the crowd. There was a time when a car was about to pass by and the children weren’t avoiding it. Instructing them to avoid it was notably stressful especially that some children were preoccupied, I suppose. Multi-tasking, for instance; listening while looking after the students during lectures wasn’t what I expected. Listening was wearisome because I also had to discipline those students who weren’t listening. At the end of the day, sleeping was the best remedy.

Anticipation! Looking forward to what would happen on the next few days was like anticipating on whether those days would only be either less tense or a lot more exhausting. During the over-all workshop, I knew that I became a stage facilitator because I think, if I didn’t become a stage faci, the children would go wild and couldn’t control themselves. In the end, my children and I were really exhausted and at the same time, not only the children had fun but me as well.

Adventure! The field trip was not only meant for having fun but also for having adventure while learning new things. At first, I was really concerned that they had to form two lines all the time. But then I realized that children were better left on their own to experience something new because no matter what happens, they would always go back to you. In that matter, we enjoyed as much as the kids did.

Fulfillment! After the CSIW event, it felt like I achieved something so big because I never had an experience like this before. Actually, I didn’t expect that I would be crying during the faci moment but I did. That was fun! Honestly, I don’t know how to put into words the experience I had during CSIW but all I can say is that it was greatly tremendous.

A Life Changing Workshop

by Rafael Conquilla

Everyone is always in search of happiness- something that is broad, intangible, and elusive. I often ask myself how I would want my life to be. What really makes me happy? And for nineteen years of my journey in life, I came up with an answer- an answer which gave me something to hold on… a purpose.
The Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) gave me a chance to put another piece on my unfinished puzzle of life. I am just a new member of the PSYSC family but they already gave me their trust, and I was able to become a part of the legendary Children’s Science Interactive Workshops (CSIW) 2010. I can say that this activity was really a life-changing one.
For my five-day stay in Tagaytay with my co-facilitators, staffs, CSIW core, teachers, parents, and most importantly, the elementary students from different schools, I was overwhelmed with what I witnessed, experienced, and learned. Things turned out so differently. No one can waste even a single second.
It was during the registration when I felt the pressure. I was astonished even though I was expecting a huge number of participants in that event. It was my first time and I was having butterflies on my stomach. I had lots of questions playing inside my mind. How will I be able to manage and maintain 30 students for three days? How will I approach them? What if some problems happen? Yes, I was so paranoid, but I was there, there was no exit, I just needed to step forward.
The day came when I met my 27 cute children. I first looked at them, trying to know their personalities by face. Some were so serious, others were just fine, but one thing common in them was, they all looked smart and attentive. I then introduced myself. They were all ears. I felt glad and I thought I am not going to have hard times dealing with them. I was absolutely right!
Activities were laid out during the orientation, and things happened one at a time. I told my children not to pressure themselves on every activity, I just want them to enjoy. But it seemed that it was so easy for them to make some fun and to take their responsibilities seriously, at the same time. As I reminisce those days, I won’t forget the times when they were listening to the lecturers and some fell asleep. I couldn’t blame them. They slept so late the night before and the lectures started at seven. But I was amazed that even though some fell asleep, they were able to grasp what the lecture was all about. They could even recall the important points and facts given during lectures without taking notes. These were all proven during the Sub-camp Quiz Bee- 40 questions, 26 students. After the last question, scores were tallied, and three balays ranked number 1. Balay 21 (our balay number) was one of those. Great! There were questions for clincher round. After the third question, one was eliminated. We were on our way for the first place. The last question was uttered. The two boards were raised. Only Balay 21 got the answer correctly! And we brought home the bacon.  It was a remarkable moment for me.
My attachment to my children was strengthened during their fieldtrip. It was inside the bus when I knew them more. I figured out that almost everyone were jokers. They love laughing, and that’s what they did the whole day.
Everything has its ending, and for me, that was the saddest part of the event- the act of letting them go. Three days, I experienced and enjoyed being a father to them. Everyone shared a single and unforgettable moment that I will treasure until my hair turns gray. I will always have the picture of their genuine smiles in my head and the whole Balay 21 in my heart. We were once strangers to everyone. We started our journey. And I guess, I should not use the word “end”, “pause” is more appropriate. We paused, and when the time comes that we meet each other again, there would have another moments to make. Being a facilitator, I learned so much from this event. And I will not have a second thought if I will be assigned again to be a facilitator next CSIW.
This is what CSIW is all about. It is not only the promotion of the science consciousness to the young generations but also, it aims to widen their horizons. Giving this kind of experience to them makes everyone explore the reality of life. They were given the chance to meet different people from different places, and they were able to learn how to deal with them. CSIW is a workshop- an overall workshop that changes and develops the personality of the students in all aspects.
