The Ultimate Challenge of Overcoming Ourselves

“Victory is because of the entire team, whereas defeat is also caused by the entire team”.
~ Sun Tzu
Our Majkhali experience was unlike any we had before. It taught us valuable life skills and lessons that will benefit us at every stage of life. We learnt how to work in a team while having fun.

Our long, tiring journey was worth the wait. The environment there was really different. The starry nights, refreshing tall trees, and treks were extremely beautiful. We experienced a kind of life which we could hardly dream about in the cities. The sounds of the wilderness captivated us. Even our fear of height, fire, and water, as well as other obstacles, vanished into thin air. At first, all of us were hesitant in the wilderness, but the EdTerra team made us believe in ourselves and give it a shot. This camp helped us explore various qualities on the hidden side of ourselves by testing our communication, coordination, patience, and collaboration skills. It pushed us out of our comfort zone to explore new horizons. We also made new bonds with our friends that can be cherished forever.

We learnt many things that we would never have dared to do otherwise. We were a part of many engaging sessions. Those who feared obstacle courses, ziplines, and tree jumaring, overcame their fear in just a matter of a few seconds. We learnt that fear is important as it deters overconfidence. Failure is an essential part of life which teaches lessons when accepted wholly and graciously.

The wild music nights, fun maggi-making session, and camping were all a part of our joyful journey. Now, when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we see our new version that we have never ever seen before!
