Just want to report what is happening now at the venue of the YES Camp in Baguio. It takes about more than 3 hours for a participant to get his lunch/meal due to a very bad system of distribution of meals. Instead of staying at the session hall to hear lectures, their time are wasted waiting for their turn to get the foods. Please fix the system. The participants are not adults; they are in their teens.
