Elaboration:

28th APCC was as amazing as it was in Past. The Enthusiasm and the Learning is same as before. There were no JAs (Junior Ambassadors) from Pakistan cause we don't have a proper Liaison Office. The delegation consisted of Just one PA (Peace Ambassador).

PA Camp was quite Productive. For first two days the PA's stayed in Marine Houses where they had the chance to interact with the all the JAs and PAs and Chaperones and all the APCC Volunteers. They had a Global Bridge Partnership meeting in which problems faced by the APCC and their solutions were discussed and debated upon.

After that the PAs then moved to Global Arena in which there were series of sessions focused on:

- Funding
- Common Activity
- Public Relations
- Maintaining strong BC 

During the stay in Global Arena the PA's visited Munakata Shrine in Munakata-shi which is quite near the Global Arena. It enabled the PA's to learn about the rich culture of Japan that they have never heard of and they were guided by Jpapnese High School students.

You can read about rest of the PA Experience on PA Report which is shared on our Official Facebook Page.

We are launching a small project named as "#BCPdiaries" in which all the people of BCP will post their life experiences in which there is a lesson for all the People. The stories will be posted in an interval of 2 stories per week. If you still haven't liked the official page of Bridge Club of Pakistan then do it and follow the hashtag #BCPdiaries to stay updated.
