Summer Meetings: An Organization Development Update
My head is still spinning from a few weeks of meeting! The wonderful rush of our loving partners of the Global Collaborative gracing our Santa Cruz home. The sweet and productive 4 day program committee meeting fulfilling the promise of the Community Summit of 2007, bringing together the stakeholders in setting YES!’s programmatic priorities. A full day board meeting with 2 newly energized members adding new threads to the rich tapestry of our collaboration. Framing, energizing, bringing love and spirit into the conversation and holding space and awareness to allow everyone in, including myself, has left me fulfilled, exhausted and ready to immerse myself in our next chapter.
Highlights and Weak Points Encountered at Lambakan Jam
First, the concept of the Lambakan youth Jam was shared. They appreciated the concept and method. They learned new knowledge and skills as a result. Friendship was built, skills were acquired, knowledge was enhanced and importantly, understanding, tolerance and their commitment to serve their indigenous communities were manifested.
The sole limitation of the Lambakan was the language barrier. While Ilocano is the lingua franca in Northern Luzon, some of the ethno-linguistic groups and migrants, especially indigenous young people who grew up in cities, cannot converse fluently in Ilocano.
