For the first day, we departed from Phnom Penh at 6am and reached our destination at 1pm. We transferred our materials from the bus and carefully onto the ferry to our homestay. We had to walk along way across the sand to reach the house, it was tiring, but everyone was enjoying the experience. Participants and organizers was divided into 2 groups for 2 house that organizers have prepared. After that we settled down and prepared for the BBQ night. There were people who cooked, grilled, and prepare the side dishes. We were having fun until 10pm and we stopped as we prepared the materials and school supplies for tomorrow Charity.

For the second day, after having our breakfast, we took a bike trip (1 bike for each person) to Jong Koh Primary School. There were 200 students ranging from grade 1 to grade 6 and we have divided into six team to teach them about basic knowledge as well as general knowledge such as washing their hand, and fun art crafts for them. Then we handed out a bag of gift for each students and for the school as well. We went back to have our lunch and rested for a bit to continue our next journey. In the afternoon, we rode to the plantation area to plants 15 trees as a contribution. It was a nice experience for everyone learning how to plant trees even though it was hot and dirty. We went for a nice coffee at Rajobori resort as participants had a test of their modern coffee and juice after 2 days of living like a local. At night we had normal dinner which prepared by the house’s owner and we had the last gathering for memory. We did a fun role play so everyone became creative and gather a few local kids to watch us as well. Then, we made candle holders and wrote appreciation messages to our CO-President and Vice President for their contribution for the whole year. It was an unforgettable memory for everyone.

The third day is the last day as we bid farewell to the house owners and local authority. After having lunch at Kratie, we proceeded our journey home with memory and bond like we have never had before.
