TIME FOR WORK!
On the same day, the teams had gotten
ready to get their hands dirty and rough,
and they headed down to the work site.
They used traditional tools such shovels
and hoes to work on a piece of empty
land. They transported hundreds of
kilograms of rubble and rock piles to the
work site everyday and laid in the
foundations. Many blisters were grown
out of digging the flat piece of land, and
lots of skins were shed by carrying rocks.
The team couldn’t complete the building,
but at least, they had helped to lay in the
foundations as well as building the core
pillars and roof structures. To many, it
was really a fruit of labour.
Other than working on the construction site during
the day, the team is also responsible to plan out
English lessons in the evening to be taught to the kids
in Cambodia. They were split into 5 different levels:
Level 0 - 4. They were not separated by age, but by
their standards of English. The lower levels were
taught nouns and adjectives, while the higher levels
were taught to improve their conversation ability. It
was satisfying to all team members that all the kids
applied what they’ve learnt immediately and also
really inspiring to see how enthusiastic were they.
