Yesterday our PGC Leaders participated in a fun skill-building activity focused on communication and teamwork. One partner was blindfolded while the other guided them step-by-step to recreate a simple drawing. The result: lots of laughs, stronger communication skills, and a great reminder of how important clear instructions and active listening can be.
