The beginning of the Team Building Seminar proper was held on Saturday at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Some staff members facilitated and prepared the games and activities. On that day until midnight, people are still having fun, eating, playing, and getting to know each other since members came from different offices of the organization.
On Sunday, breakfast was at 7 in the morning and activities started at exactly 9:30AM. Other staff members, PCOs, PNCOs and NUPs were divided into 2 groups: the Yellow team and the Blue team. Command group and their families are the Red team, but they were not included in the Team Building games. As an intern, even if I am a dependent, they consider me as one of the member of the organization and invited me to join the games and be part of a team. So I joined the Yellow team and they adopted me as well.
