REFLECTIONS ON BINTAN TRIP 10-14 DECEMBER 2007
(Question 1) HOW DO I FEEL ABOUT THE TRIP? In this trip to Bintan, Indonesia has given me much learning experience. The 5 days 4 nights is really very exciting as we get to know more people, learn the different people culture.
(Question 2) WHAT DO I LIKE MOST ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SERVICE? The community service has really make me feel appreciated of the things I have back in Singapore. Compared the study enviroment, Singapore student are really very fortunate of the facilities that we have. There classroom are small, not a proper learning environment, classroom are stuffy. The thing that I like most was teaching the students there proper English. We also give them spelling. At first I underestimated them, but to my surprised they are really good at english. We also did community service at one of the orphanage. There we lay down the rubber-mat, give clothes to the children there, we also give them toys. They were really happy to see us and we were also happy to see them.
(Question 3) WHAT HAVE I LEARNT FROM THIS TRIP? In this trip I have learnt not take things for granted, appreciate of the things you have, overcome your fears.
(Question 4) WHAT IMPACT IT HAS ON MY LIFE? The one biggest impact on my life is to see the children at the orphanage walk to school. The school is not located near their house but much further. Its a pity to see this young children walk in the sun, rain and near to the road side. I was really surprised to see it with my own eyes.
(Question 5) WHAT OTHER IMPROVEMENTS I LIKE TO SEE IN THIS TRIP? I seriously think that this trip doesn't need any improvement. The things that we have there are really great enough. The activities there are awesome and some cannot be found in Singapore. Its really a great time to enjoy my holiday with my friends and at the same time do community service.
The activities I enjoyed most is Team Building Archery (managed to aim for the bullseyes..YEAH!!) Rock-Climbing (reach to the top..YEAH!!) Kayaking Boat-Netting (overcome the fear of heights..Not me but my friends)
