COMMENTS
Lack of Carollers
Most of the carollers were made up of the organising team and this should not be the case as all World Youth Day 2011 pilgrims are required to participate in fund-raising activities.
Bonding Time
World Youth Day 2011 pilgrims should join the carolling group as this would be a good opportunity to bond with the rest of the pilgrims as was observed during the 1st carolling practice. It is to be noted that World Youth Day is not just about meeting the pope, but also about sharing your spiritual experiences with those around you.
Commitment
The carollers present were reminded that there has to be commitment in attending carolling practices as time is running out and our first gig is approaching very soon. Also, attendance will be taken at every carolling practice.
