Garbage Goblin's

Wednesday, 7th June, We the Gob have started on audio recording in the ICT lab after club hours, Unfortunately one of our members, Tashi, is not present so its the 4 of us working on the narration and voice overs. The progress is taking place in the ICT lab where we first started with the draft of our narration by practicing in front of the microphone. We tried one by one and listened to our voices to check who would be suitable enough to do the narration for us, Shreya was the first one to try as we had initially decided to set her as the narrator for our video documentary. After several tries, Ngawang is the CHOSEN one for our voice recording. She was reluctant and hesitant at first however sir Mani Wangdi's words of encouragement and Shreya bargaining her with kurkure{snack} did the trick. Reattempts and corrections of pronunciations, rate of speech and audibility were made again and again.  Ngawang tried again and again unless she was satisfied with the clip. We were the first ...

On world environmental day, select students and student leaders were selected to attend the conference in the Dzongkhag administration. Fortunately the entire team got to attend and one of our members, Tashi, got an opportunity to address the issue with climate change and our "collective negligence".  The conference was an amazing way to start off a domino reaction to get everyone started on advocacy and  Greta Thunberg stuff. The day was also important to address the issues caused by the HOT temperatures.  The team was busy taking notes for what they could take from the meeting and apply in this competition, the most notable being the "Zero Waste App" which apparently pays you money for snitching on offenders who violate Bhutan's environmental laws, basically reporting a person committing offenses has a huge fine amount ranging from Nu.250 to Nu.30,000, which is free pocket money by now Also they had four air conditioners on and they served momos, tea, water bu...

On May 28th, 2023, we the Garbage Goblins, had decided to meet up during the weekend to continue our video documentary. We had purchased new equipment to further enhance the quality of our documentary. The original plan was to meet up at Bakelicious for some food and discuss our next steps. However, we were late and ended up meeting at 2pm instead of 1pm. After our discussion (and food), we explored the town a bit to record footage and then headed to the football ground. There, we became distracted and spent an hour playing tag, snacking, filming, and having a conversation about our lives as friends. The next plan was to record in Sukriti. We sang along to music and walked there. The scenery was good enough to be filmed, so we took out our selfie sticks and climbed up. Unfortunately, Rigsel got too engrossed in recording and was planning to do a risky shot over the cliff, which made the anxious group worry about him falling or losing his phone (unfortunately, no good drone shots). We t...
