Around the world in... well, 45 minutes

A word to adults -

The biggest complaint that adults have of this new generation of children:

1. They complain to much

Funny how we all have something to say when we ourselves are the victims of our own circumstances.

So we decided to try something new. An experiential learning 'trip' around the poverty and disaster stricken areas of Asia - through the eyes of a child.

Using whatever we have to create a learning experience

Our goal was to avoid using the poor and fallen as fodder for the usual "you-better-appreciate-what-you-have" lesson. People, regardless of their wealth and well being, are dignified individuals.

The real lesson: you can be contented even if you have little.

Making a home from 'thrash' to shelter 12 people

You don't need a PSP to be happy. It's not a crime to have one, but if your parents say no, you don't have to be angry.

If we knew the value of the things we use everyday, and what they can buy - hopefully we'd think twice before wanting that PSP - and be doubly grateful if we have one.

All their stuff - stationery, watches, mobile phones etc. What each item can do for a hungry friend.

We won't complain about school if we knew the future that is in store for us. It's only right to work hard because we've been given the chance to.

Hopefully it's a lesson well learnt.

Onward to camp!
