SSY- Learning TRUST , RESPONSIBILITY ,through simple game.

This weekend I went to SSY retreat and experience was wonderful. We do one adventure/ trek , I want to share U the experience of it. We want to do 1 simple trek and we created groups of 3 people. In between 3 people, 1 person is blindfolded(eyes tied with cloth) and other 2 person must take care of him and all 3 should complete the trek without any injury or failures.In Addition to that , there was silence also , means no one will speak.

As 1 person is is blindfolded other must took care of him as best as possible. We decided how to give the instructions to that blind folded person
1] lift his left hand to say that we have to go left
2] lift his right hand to say that we have to go right
3] lift hand up to show that , lift the leg to climb
4] pull hand down to show that there is depth
5] to stop him we clap on his shoulder

The learning was excellent. We guided him well. we folded his pant so that it should not get muddy(rain was there ). we help him to put his legs at proper place , we bend his head to avoid any collision with dangerous objects. We took good care.

After some time I was blindfolded. I was relaxed and confident that other 2 will carry me safely , I also following their instructions carefully and moving forward carefully.

Learning was great-------
1] When someone trust on you , you always give your 100% to insure to respect that trust
2] When you trust on someone , you get relaxed as you are confident on that person
3] Trust does not mean that you are careless about the things that are happening but "you are aware" of
what is happening.
