"“If you’re expecting to be a Superman and save the world, this trip is not for you”, said Mr Paul Ng, lecturer-in-charge of Serve Cambodia 2008, in a matter-of-fact manner to the 60 student enthusiasts from the School of Business & Accountancy (BA). He explained that the prime objective of the trip, held between Sep. 25 to Oct. 9, was to learn from their hosts, the Solid Rock Baptist Church and the Full Gospel Assembly Church, about the Cambodian culture and society. The 20 students, handpicked from 60 applicants, soon found out that going on this trip would not a breeze. For a major ity of these students, this was their first mission cum cultural trip. For star ters, they learnt basic Khymer. “The younger ones couldn’t communicate in English. So it was beneficial to learn their language so I can interact with them better,” says Rastus Chow, 18, a Banking & Financial Services student. Students also put their first aid skills to use by attending to minor wounds of the Cambodian children as well as their own peers.

While the students enjoyed working together to build roads to improve access and paint murals in the Bright Arrows Children Centre in Kampong Thom, it was the local children who left a lasting impression. “It’s not as etched in our hearts as mingling with the Cambodian children,” shares Rastus’ twin, Rasmus Chow who attends the same course. In the two weeks, they experienced rural life, helping out at two children’s centres by educating the children on basic hygiene and dental care on top of teaching them English, Chinese and mathematics. They also helped to remove head lice from the children’s hair with treatment shampoo. Ser ve Cambodia 2008 is organised annually by BA CARES, a BA community outreach committee. During these trips, students are encouraged to be committed members of society. Lum Feng Lim, 18, a secondyear Business Studies student, was so touched by the gentle and gracious nature of the Cambodians that she, together with the rest of the student volunteers, hopes to take a trip back there again to meet their very much missed Cambodian friends and engage in more volunteer work for the communities."

Hey guys! I've heard from the cambodians that the letter has reached the point of destination! Thank God it did not get lost. So do not worry, a 60cents letter will still be sent faithfully by the mailman. just that there is a higher risk that it would get lost. I think it only took 4 weeks to arrive so you guys can start sending the letters. And also, they can use the computer every saturday and sunday. So do email them! As for weikwang, you know how to use the blog? You need the username and password? Mail me if you need:D
I last heard that some might not be able to make it on sunday either. So we'll make this tentative. Its going to be either on sunday or monday depending on the amount of people who can't make it for whichever day. When it is nearing the end of the month or closer to the date, i will then re-declare which day is it..fair enough?
Can we change the BBQ date to the 14th of december instead of the 15th cause xinying cannot make it on the 15th. The 14th is a sunday. How's that?
Please type in your name and answer below!Thanks [okay/not okay] with the change 1. Rasmus (okay) 2. rastus (okay) 3. aiping (ok) 4. Ben (okay) 5. Xinying (Okay) ( so sorry for the inconvenience caused!! ) 6. Shaun (OK)
In case you are not aware yet, Happy Hour (recruitment drive for serve trips 2009) falls on 10th November, this coming monday! The entire event will last from 5pm-630pm. Dress code would be 'i survived in cambodia' t-shirt(any color is fine) and jeans.
We will be showcasing a short video clip that sums up our entire service trip. After that we'll be performing the song "you're my sunshine". We are intending to do sth like what the kids in solid rock performed for us, just that we are using construction paper instead of fluorescent light and gloves! Hahaha.
What we need to do now is - memorise the entire song - MEET UP and rehearse a couple of times tgt with ACTIONS AND PROPS
We are planning to meet up in sch this SUNDAY, 9TH NOVEMBER, 1PM-3PM. Whoever that is not able to make it please try to email me aiping xinying or chihching so that we can try to figure out sth asap ok ok? thank you...
