Visit to the Yayasan Sunbeams Home

For today’s activity, I don’t think it is a challenge for me, but if I were to name one, it would most probably be when we have to manage the kids as they were very naughty. Although we were all new to each other, we managed to know each other better with the ice breaking games.
We can be very happy together, angry with each other. But at the end of the day, we all forgive each other and everything goes back to normal. We should cherish whatever we have now instead of thinking of what new things we can get. We should resist negative peer pressure and encourage more positive peer pressure.

Today we left Gopeng at 8.30 am for KL. Although I did not like the early bathing time and the flies all around the toilet, I will still miss Gopeng and its activities. I have learnt that although I hated it at first and regretted going there, I have to take back my words. It was the best 6 days of my life spent at Gopeng.
After the visit to the orphanage, I have learnt that not everyone is fortunate in this world and we should appreciate everything we have. Initially, we had difficulty managing the kids as they were excited and energetic. It prompted me to realise that we have taken our parents for granted when the kids do not have any.

I had learnt that we should not take anything for granted
especially our family and friends. This is because they are the ones who helped
us when we are sad and going through difficulties. As for the children at the
orphanage, they do not have their parents but they still enjoy life happily
without any regret so we should not be too stubborn and picky with our lives
and the loved ones around us.
We managed to break the ice with the girls who were
extremely shy to communicate and play with us. Everyone was enjoying their time
and the best moment was to see the children smiling and enjoying themselves
with laughter and joy. It was indeed a meaningful time to cherish the children’s
smiles.
