Based on your experience in the many activities we organised in Cambodia, what would be a highlight(s) for you? Why? Please elaborate.
The house building was an highlight. Through the hard work contributed by everyone, the structure that was there began to develop into a proper house, first with the flooring done, followed by walls and mounting of walls. It sounds simple, but i think it is the combined effort that makes the house stand in the village housing one lady now. That's a major sense of satisfaction, from nothing to something.

Were there learning points during your trip? What have you learnt? About yourself, your fellow expedition mate, Cambodia, orphans, etc.
I think we should learn to be easily contented and smile more. The orphans and adults in Hope Village easily smile and takes life simply. In Singapore, i am sure our living conditions, meals and necessities we have are much better than theirs. So, learn to smile more. Smiles will brighten people's day up.

Call to action. Do you feel you have contributed at the expedition? Would there be future expeditions for you? What are your plans (related to community service). What does the future hold for you?
I feel that I've contributed to this expedition, all the members in the team of 20 which went contributed. I dont mind going for another expedition, but most preferable at another location, so that i can understand more about the living conditions of another third world country. If i can, i hope i would be able to lead another group, if not bring my friends over to hope village to help them out in whatever we can. You might not have the ability to change the world, but your small difference can change someone's world.
