ReflectionThis was definitely a trip to remember. I have learnt so many valuable lessons. It has made me realize how much more there is to learn about the harsh world. I also found out that I should never take things for granted because you will never know when it will be gone. I want to work hard and achieve a lot of things in life so that I can make a difference in someone’s life.

ReflectionThough they studied in a school that provided little facilities, I was pleased to see that they paid attention to whatever we were teaching them and participated actively during the lessons. I am grateful that I study in a school that provides many facilities to enhance our education and I will not take it for granted.
~Arya visited Sarawak
ReflectionI was amazed by the orphanage as it was quite clean and they had separate rooms for different age groups. The toddlers were adorable and we could even attempt to carry them. One of the babies which I deeply remembered was practically swimming on the bed. She was so cute, and my heart bled for the poor babies there that needed love and care. I was glad I could at least give them one day of attention and love.
