“Next time, I’ll say something.”
The idea of playing from morning until evening was Billy’s main reason for taking part in the camp. “Before coming to the camp, I thought we could just be playing and nothing more, but my experience has gone beyond my expectations.
I am taking with me lessons I will never forget. For example, I learnt that it is actually not right to watch and do nothing while someone is being bullied at school. Bullying is common in my school, and next time I witness any such case, I will take action and tell the teacher.” The 11-year-old talked enthusiastically about the roleplay at the camp too. “We never do anything like that at school. But it was very helpful – it helped me to be more confident too.”
