Chiangmai Service Trip

A group of volunteers from my school went to Chiangmai to help build a water tank. We experienced mountain hiking and living the village lifestyle. We worked under the hot sun for hours just to connect pipes from a water source in the mountain to the village. After 5 days, we managed to complete our job and finish up the water tank. We were relieved that it was over and were proud of ourselves as we were able to help ease the troubles of the villagers in Chiangmai.

Haunted House for Cellefest

I continued to help this organization further by helping my class to set up a stall to raise money. We decided to set up a haunted house as we believed we can attract a lot of people. We spent a lot of time organizing and manpower to set up this stall. Everything paid off as Dr Barrett announced that our class raised the most money among all the stalls that were set up. We were very proud of ourselves as we helped the disadvantaged children.

Cellefest Rock Out Competition

Our band, Rubberband joined the cellefest rock out competition to help raise money for the charity organization, MILK (Mainly I Love Kids). We practiced our songs for the competition at the West Clementi Recreational centre. For the competition, we played the song Home by Chris Daughtry as it is meant a lot for these disadvantaged children. The lyrics and tone of the song is very significant. Although we did not win the competition, we managed to collect more than a thousand dollars from the votes. Overall, I felt very proud of my band because we played a part in helping these children.

Under No Roof

Under no roof was an interesting experience as I had to spend one night living like a homeless person. We slept on cardboard boxes on the football field in the Indian International School. I realised that homeless people are living a tough life and it makes me want to help these homeless people. I can help by volunteering to do charity work.
