Serve Cambodia was truly a great experinence for me and I am very thankful for all the luxury items I have in life and the love and warmth I receive from my family.
Since primary school I was taught the song "Give Thanks" but I have never really comprehend the true meaning of that song until we went to Mdm Cheah's place. As I sing the verse and now let the weak say, "I am strong" Let the poor say, "I am rich" I truly grasp the meaning and the emotion for that song and it has become the most meaningful song in my life. Everyday this song will inadvertently replay in my head and made me feel that I am very blessed to have a roof over my head,three sumptuous meal a day and all the love I have got from my family everyday for twenty-one years.
At FGA I learn something new in life, that is we tend to think that people from the economically disadvantaged are leading a sad life because they cannot buy and have the things they want. Yet the people living in poorer countries can be happy too. On the contrary, people who are living in a country which is economically stable are never satisfied with what they have because they can never have enough money to satisfy their unlimited wants.
Serve Cambodia made me reflect on all the things that I have in life and be thankful of every single little thing that I owned. I have made many new friends in Cambodia and I hope my friendship with them will go a long way because it is them who taught me how to appreciate the love I have got from my family.
