What an amazing day we had today. This is possible only because of all the efforts that we've put in as well as the drive that came from the group of energetic students from New Town Secondary School, and not forgetting the volunteers from Student Care Services (SCS).
Before meeting my comrades (Serve Cambodia Team) this morning, I had absolutely no idea of who they were (most of them, except for a couple). However, the team was really welcoming and I was glad to be part of this trip where we will be giving back to the community as one.
At around 1030hrs, we met our counterparts from New Town Secondary school, where we as a team, will be setting a new record for the "LARGEST CONTINGENT OF PEOPLE CARRYING DIFFERENT NATION FLAGS FORMING THE LETTER "YOG"." After which, we segregated into different teams and conducted a dry-run of the event. Of course, there was the usual ice-breaking games which I am sure many of us enjoyed it because we got to know each other better and it fostered stronger friendships amongst us.
As for me, I was the "Mentor" for "Team Loud Speakers," aka Emcees! I must say the bond between the students themselves has already been built up and as such, it was easy to work and coordinate with them. The energy and vibrancy they had made the whole event a success today. No doubt there were certain areas that needed improvement, the dry-run was definitely a good start for all.
The actual event held on 12th September will be yet another challenge for all of us and I hope to see the same kind of 'RARA-ness' within the entire team so as to create a SUCCESSFUL Singapore Book record.
Well, here are some photos for you to feast on. As the saying goes, "A picture speaks a thousand words." And, just look at how much fun all of us are having!
To my team, I look forward to working with you guys again, and forging memories that will last. :)
Signing out,
