On Saturday 22 of August ’09, the Penang Island Youth Network organized a sports day, held at College General field. We were invited by the Penang Youth coordinator, Mr. Sudhagaran Stanley, to participate together with 180 youths from around the island. The aim was to integrate the youths from Chinese, English & Tamil speaking communities together. Although the weather was not in our favour, the programme went on very well. It started with aerobic exercises for one hour, followed by 10 station games. We could not be with them until the end of the programme, because we had our own activities. However, it was an enriching experience for us, especially integrating with the youth and breaking down the thought of living apart from the outside community.
