SP Primers had proudly sent a team to Cambodia for OSLT on the 14th of September. Apart from the participants who went, there is another group of us who still like to contribute. Some contributed funds for the trip while there were 38 of us who used our hearts to prepare a gift for each of the 38 children that we have not seen yet.
I was put in charge to do the collections of these gifts. I was thankful for the RIO GLs who helped to call their members and I was so proud of my Primers that they took up the responsibility without any complaints.
The whole process was tedious as I had to meet each of them individually since we are having school holiday. That was another reason why I was proud of my Primers as they did not sound a word of grumble that they have to purposely meet me at town to pass me the gift.
Some bought notebooks, some bought pencil cases, and there were also some who bought food. There were a few who gave more than they required. Many of them also wrapped up the gifts though it was not required. They were required to write a note of blessing and attached with the gift and Qingyan & Derrick actually drew something for them instead!
In conclusion, I am seriously proud of my Primers who were so willing to give and be part of this project. Though they were not physically there, these little acts actually meant a lot not only to me but also to the participants and the children who are going to receive it. And you never know how much these little small acts can bring how big the smiles of the children.
I thank all and sincerely appreciate it all.
