Today we had to get down to work. There's so much to do! Trying to understand where we come from, who we are, what we like about our lives and what we want to change.

We started with a game in which we reinacted our visit to the Governor's house the previous day. Different people played His Excellency and Cyrilji, and John, who had given a speech before the Governor played himself but read his speech in his own language. We had a blast. The entire morning we were on our toes, running, singing, talking, and laughing and getting to know each other.

We've also created a new catchword: "PABAM." It stands for Parvatiya Bal Manch, which is Mountain Children's Forum in Hindi. We use it when we agree with something that someone has said, as a cheer and as a greeting.

After lunch we broke into smaller groups and tried to describe our worlds, through drawing and story telling.

In the afternoon, we received a visit from a funny little puppet named Jokhim Chacha. He even had an MCF ID badge and said he was very excited to join the children's forum even though he was 300 years old and had a grandson who is 100. He kept mangling PABAM, asking if it was "problem?" or "pavan" (wind).
