The Youth Wing's 2nd Birthday!



It is that time of the year again where we are constantly surrounded by festivities and everyone is in the Christmas spirit. At the OSBM youth wing we had another reason to celebrate at our December meeting with it also being our second birthday!



We started our monthly meeting with two great, informative student –led presentations; one being a  presentation covering a spiritual topic, in this case a presentation with the theme of materialism and the other focusing on a future charity project. Soon after we began our second birthday celebrations with an array of food, ranging from Sri Lankan delicacies to rich chocolate brownies and also decorated our meeting room with vibrant balloons.


Youth members acting out their spiritual word

After we had finished our luscious treats we began our party game; spiritual charades. Everyone was teamed up in pairs and chose a spiritual word that Ghaya Loveday, our youth co-ordinator had prepared beforehand. As each team attempted to act out their word everyone was eager to guess and contribute. Examples of spiritual words that we had were: ego, ignorance, Sadguru and bhakthi yogi, which as you can imagine were at times difficult to guess!

 

All in all, it was a fun, interactive, celebratory meeting full of fun and laughter whilst celebrating our 2nd birthday. We look forward to hosting  many more innovative and fulfilling charity events as well as developing our spiritual knowledge at our monthly meetings in the New Year.
