Yoghurt + Cups= Creative Recycling


One of the fun activities we like to do at YSEL camp is the Cup Game.  It has taken the world by storm and almost every teenager on the planet knows this fun group activity taken from the movie “Pitch Perfect.”  In order to do the Cup Game properly, you need a strong cup.  One of the challenges this year at camp was finding a decent cup in the shops and markets of Debre Zeyit and Addis.  Nothing could be found.  One thing that is produced in Debre Zeyit is yoghurt from the Holland and Genesis farms.  The large container the yoghurt is sold in is perfect for the Cup Game.  So, on week two, we began making yoghurt a daily part of our meals at camp.  The staff and students alike have been enjoying the yoghurt and day by day, the number of Cup Game participants has grown.  Maybe by the end of camp, we’ll have everyone playing the Cup Game together.
  This video reflects the resourcefulness of our campers and how they have recycled in a fun and creative way. Enjoy the video!
