Community Service Club Event #1
paid a visit to children's home in Sentul today. together with seniors, we drove there with 3 cars :D it is pretty far, and apparently i couldn't remember the routes...but it's a meaningful trip! ice-breakers, song & dance sessions, london-bridge-is-falling-down, simon says, and english class. i guessed the kids really enjoyed and learnt. Friendships are forged and love is spread. A very heartwarming session.
the kids over there are mostly malays and some of us have difficulty communicating with them. despite language barriers, everything was run smoothly with the help of one another. it's a good training ground 'cause we were forced to speak bahasa =P really need a lot of practice man...if not next time we will have a hard time communicating with our patients.
ever complained about exam stress? or too much to learn? look at these kids. they are from poor-stricken families who cant afford to send them to school, and what's more saddening is that most of them are really smart kids who are eager to learn. The world is so unfair. but all we can do is to reach out to them and give them what we have, and stop taking all we have for granted. Together we can all make a difference.
