Welcome to 09MS

Right after 09dvp group left, we welcomed a new group today. It is the start of "Media Strategy for Community Enlightenment" course. This time, we have 12 participants from six different countries. Because the participant from Viet Nam has not arrived here yet, we start the training with eleven people.

The First Prize of the final presentation went to Group C "Kenshuin Map". Congratulations!!

Look at those proud faces!

Soon after the ceremony, the participants started to leave us. Very terrible moment in the life her. I don't like this...

Days of Final Production

The training of 09dvp is approaching to the end. The participants have been tackling with the group production. Today, the revision plan was presented based on the formative evaluation carried out on yesterday.

The following is a set of shots in the production (editing phase).

Obed, how is the production this time?

Lawrence, your smile has brought everyone peace!

Not a masquerade :)

Look at them - Davis (Panama-left) and Nong (Thailand-right).

They are wearing a mask, but this doesn't mean that they are going to a masquerade :)
(Should be better if they are...)

As the preparation for the Influenza A (H1N1), everyone in OIC started to wear a mask from this morning. So far (if we trust as reported), there have been three patients, two participants and one staff. Because of this, each of us is considered as "a carrier" of its virus, therefore, we wear this NOT TO INFECT others.

I just wonder why it spreads on the place like Okinawa, such hot and humid place. If it is like this, the situation would be ..... when it gets cooler and drier.

DVP2009 - Observation Tour

While I was taking a summer vacation, 09dvp went to the mainland Japan.
Well, it can be a good idea to get some leisurely photos.

They were on the cover page of a magazine!?


No one would believe they were on a training tour....

The photos were provided by Davis(Panama). !Gracias!
