Found this on Zilin's blog:

"To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Its so nice.

Last day of camp was fun fun fun! Went kayaking at macritche (spelling, i know, i know) and then played water gun with the kids. We (volunteers) got a little carried away and took the whole pail to splash. Its damn fun lar. We saw some women's kayaking team and they were like... strong. lifting 40kg weights like feathers! See liao oso scared. Its like 20kg on each side and they just bend down and lift up down up down.

Got bacck to Pathlight where the kids watched a movie and then there was buffet dinner. Got home at around 10.30

This whole experience at Pathlight has really opened my eyes and really taught me how to be more caring and patient, especially with young children. I also learnt to communicate with young children, something i hace lacked before the camp. Got to know many great people too like Zilin. Though the volunteers there were all JC1 students, they are really fun though there is still the gap like the lack of sacarsm in some of them. my sacarstic remarks were lost on them..

All in all, it was time well spent. Anyone interested in being a volunteer at Pathlight?
