Service Learning Trip :D

What do feel about the trip and why do you feel that way?

When I first heard about the trip, I was certainly quite sceptical at first. I knew that there was definitely going to be some difficulties and obstacles throughout this learning journey. This Service Learning Trip will actually be my first Bicultural Trip and so I am really unsure about the procedures and the main objectives of the trip. However, as I was thinking through, I realised that I wanted to achieve something by making a difference in the lives of others. I want to prove to others about the willingness that I have to go the extra mile and help those in need. Therefore, it seems that this trip would be an excellent opportunity to try and be exposed to global situations, especially the countries that are less fortunate than Singapore.I have never been to Cambodia as well, and so I would like to reflect on the hardship that is being portrayed in the lives of the Cambodians. It is never the same when you simply read through articles and stories about these Cambodians, as compared to living the reality itself. Thus, these are the feeling that I am having towards the trip. I do feel that it is a great eye-opener but at the same time, everyone has to be prepared to handle whatever that lies ahead.

What are your personal goals for the trip?

For me personally, I want to try and make a difference in the lives of the Cambodians, no matter how small or insignificant it is. I feel that putting a smile on a person's face simply brings about happiness and so I hope that during this trip, I can try to put a smile on everyone. The task is definitely not an easy one but it is something that I hope to achieve as part of the gaining new experiences and being more open-minded about issues. I am certain that this trip will be a fruitful and a knowledgeable one as I seek to gain more perspectives pertaining to global situations.
