" Overall great experience in all areas and outstanding work with Divyanam Pr and Mukharavinda Pr in planning and staying calm in case of things not happening per plan. Based on the experience here are some suggestions from my end - - defining clear responsibilities for Chaperone and clearly letting youth know and acknowledging that. Some chaperone struggled to convince youth to stick to the plan - water kettle and electrolytes availability - thermometer availability - general medicine availability for cough, sore throat and fever - food arrangement in case kids are sick - plan to have secondary chaperone in case of sickness - better to have clear accommodation (like mayapur) - when there are multiple bus/ auto, better planning needed (like the way it was done for Puri to Mayapur) - more lollipops - ensure kids keep some snacks with them.

Global Youth Retreat : Empowerment for Rising Stars" The retreat was designed to give an opportunity for absorbing the spiritual potency in a dham in the association of devotees. This went well for the first part of the retreat until some devotees started to fall sick. While this is not fully under ones control, it does bring to question if there can be ways in which deep immersive experience can be given in small bursts so it is more smooth and pleasant health wise and inclusive for the majority. Those who fall sick tend to feel left out. "
