Dear all,
As you have read from the blog entries below, Team Project Waterloo has had an enriching, eye-opening and fun-filled two weeks in Cambodia! The lessons learnt can never really be summarised within a few points, and we have all had our individual learning journeys, but here's a few that I can say we all learnt:
- Learning to appreciate the things we have in Singapore
- Learning to be content with the simplest pleasures in life
- Learning that the Cambodians are truly warm and hospitable by nature
- Learning that Cambodian children really do enjoy school, and their enthusiasm and openness to learning is something that we hope our own education system can emulate
We definitely wish to share the plenty we have learnt with the children in Singapore, so that they too can experience what we have experienced, without having to buy a plane ticket to Cambodia.
Therefore, we are in the process of developing a program designed to bring children to action through activities that allow them to empathise with those less privileged than them. In the process, the children will also see that they have much in their own lives to be thankful for, and will learn to share the joy of giving with others!!
We also hope to have more participants who have gone on similar overseas expeditions to join us on this journey of developing our youths. If you are interested to join us, do email us at ntusife@gmail.com
More updates on our progress coming up!!
