Serve Cambodia 2011, a whole new experience













Okay I suck at arranging pictures so I shall not. Gonna talk about the Serve Cambodia trip today. Im tired of making reflections cos throughout the trip, the teachers made us write a 2 page long without line spacing reflection. Within 30min. Its like writing a full fledged essay. In a shorter period of time. But that time, it was like peanuts to us cos the ideas and reflection just flowed in like nobody's business. :) Guess there were too much to reflect on.

So, Kolap 4 orphanage showed me how carefree the cambodian orphans are. While we are mugging our head off for exams and tests, they are playing water soccer, running under the rain naked. Its so ironic for us to pity them, cos I actually envy their freedom. And some kids there have really awesome talents I bet no one outside the orphanage will ever get to see.

Dam danced super awesome!
Nary is by far the prettiest girl I've seen in cambodia :)
Bunrong is the sweetest kid and a great eyecandy.
Rin is the most cheerful kid and super cute too!
Pisey can do stunts on her bicycle (Y)
Ny has awesome photography skills
And last but not least, mango can dance to lucifer :D

So for us, we helped out in making cupboards, cleaning up their dorms, catch mice, planted a mini garden outside, and had an enrichment day specially to celebrate their children's day. And the serve cambodia team has officially turned into a bunch of saikang warriors. :D not to mention the taupok session everyone (okay except the girls) received at night. And the fun dinner sessions where yewteck can eat 10 servings of rice. :D
Plus the endless gossips coming from the guys and midnight room visits to eat cup noodles. All those were great memories and I think our impression of scouts changed for the better :) Oh and the great mentors we had throughout the trip. Grateful much.

Going for serve cambodia team outing on saturday and I can't wait to see everyone :)
Last but not least, to all those who came back with diarrhea, get well soon! <3

p/s: yr3gg! lets go to cambodia again if there's a second chance :)

if you think you are too small to make a difference, you've never been in bed with a mosquito
