On that day, the mentees (S.1H and S.1E students) enjoyed the mass group games prepared by their Buddies (from S.4-5 students).

Although the weather was hot and unstable, the big peace of grass land associated with the effort of the Buddies and the cooperation of S.1 students,

participants were highly involved in the games and had had an exhausting morning.
