Today is our last morning at the campsite. We had a delicious breakfast of rice with pork and tom yam soup.
After breakfast, all of us did area cleaning. We cleaned the canteen and dormitories that we slept in. I think the Boys had a hard time cleaning their dirty toilets. I hope this experience gave them a chance to learn that they should always be responsible toilet users. :))
We're now on our way to the airport.
Dear Parents,
Do take note that we'll be touching down at 2155hrs. Our flight is SQ 979.

BB/GB Thailand Trip Day 3
Camp Day 3.
We started our morning with a hearty breakfast of rice and vegetable soup. Then we proceeded on to a church for worship.
The journey was about an hour.
When we arrived at the church, their church leader and members stood at the door and welcome us warmly. Lunch was served at the church. Many Boys and Girls commented that it was the best meal ever. Hmm... What did they have? Fried chicken with rice and vegetable soup.
After the church service, we went to a factory which sells pork floss products. Many of us bought some for our families.
Next, we went to a shopping mall. We broke into small groups for shopping and dinner. Some of bought things but some of us did not.
After dinner, we headed back to the campsite.
We made appreciation cards for the people who made this camp possible. First on our list was our camp commandant : Poh Chye Sir and deputy camp commandant : John Sir, and all the other officers and seniors who have helped us. We also made card for our local guide: Uncle Boon Chiau, Father Prasart and the van drivers. We did not miss out the cooks who prepared every meal for us too.
Soon, we had to turn in as it was getting late.
What a busy day!

BB/GB Thailand Trip Day 2
It is the second day of our trip. After a restful night, all Boys and Girls reported to the canteen for a healthy breakfast of rice and vegetable soup.
A simple devotion by Grace Ma'am followed shortly after. The Boys and Girls even had a singing competition during singspiration!
We then proceeded to Baan Huay Nam Khen school. Once we reached, our first activity was English Immersion Programme. Shirley Ma'am read a big book 'The Chinese Opera Game' to all the students, both ours and the Thai school students. The students really enjoyed the story. Group activities were then carried out. Our Boys and Girls broke into small groups and partnered with one Thai student for the English activities. Activities were planned by myself and they included: reading, dramatizing and word study (rhyming words).
Then it was time to get 'arty'. It was Art and Craft time! Jenny Ma'am taught the students how to make photo frames. The senior girls went around taking their pictures and printed them instantly for their frames. Mary Ma'am taught the students how to decoration coin boxes to encourage the value of saving for rainy days.
Lunch was served in the school. We had a delicious meal.
'Pop!' was the sound that we constantly heard right after lunch. Evelyn Ma'am sculptured many balloons for the Thai students. Our Boys and Girls had their share of fun as they did their own balloon sculpturing.
Soon, it was movie time. We watched 'Chicken Little' with the Thai students. The movie was in Thai but surprisingly, all our Boys and Girls sat through the entire movie without whining and complaining. I was very proud of them!
Dinner was also taken in the school with the Thai students. After dinner, we presented the school with stationery hampers that were packed by the students of PPS. Each Thai student received a stationery filled goodie bag and a pencil case. The pencil cases were donated by one of our Boy's parents. We thanked the school for having us over and left for the campsite.
After a short debrief, we went back to shower and rest.
Other than the above-mentioned activities in the school, our captain, Poh Chye Sir led a team of seniors to paint a part of the school and the water tank. Benson Sir scrubbed the water tank. John Sir led a team of P6 Boys to do planting in the school garden.
It was really a busy yet meaningful day for the Boys, Girls and Officers.

BB/GB Thailand Trip Day 1
Hi parents/guardians,
I believe you must be anxious, eager to find out how their children were today. Here's a brief update.
We landed in Thailand, Bangkok, the land of smiles around 10plus (Thailamd time) in the morning. Upon clearing the customs, we met up with our church member. He came with 5 vans to pick us up. We took a 1.5 hours of van ride. We stopped for an hour break before proceeding on with another 1.5 hours of van ride to the campsite.
The campsite is peaceful until we came to fill it up with laughter and noise. The Boys and Girls were assigned to their sleeping area. We then went to visit the school. School was dismissed by the time we reached.
After visiting the school, we stopped by at an scenic spot. We took pictures of sunflowers and caught a glimpse of sunset.
After dinner, there were some briefing and lights out followed after wash up.
