After almost exactly 1 year...
Hi everyone,
I think it's time for me to post a bit of my reflections about this trip, in this pouring rain, on a wet Wednesday afternoon.
Like what puayki have said, we will miss all these fond memories of what we have been though over the short period of 3 weeks in Koh Krobey, Cambodia. We will definitely want to go back in time to the worry-free, fun-filling and enjoyable days with the kids in the village. However, in the reality, we will need to move forward. Things change and time flies… Some of us are now working, some of us still schooling and some of us, like me, started to look for work.
Nevertheless, we still need to reflect on ourselves, do we want MPX efforts to be just a one-time off thing? Even before the entire trip to Cambodia, I believe everyone here have slightly different opinions and also, different expected achievements that he/she wants to accomplish. However, personally, I believe that even we might or might not be comfortable with one another, fate brought us together once to the little village call Koh Krobey. In this little village, we cook, we laugh, we play and we sleep. To me, it’s one of the best trip I have ever been, without any worries and most importantly, stay right in one of the poorest country in Asean country, among the most kindest and lovable people in my life.
Although, from what I understand, we will still need to be committed to Rotaract Club for another 6 months or 1 year after the trip is over. We can still make an effort to help the villagers by doing what we can for 1 year, 2 years or even until we are in our forties or fifties . I believe we should not take for granted what we have been though. Personally, I know I might not have contributed much to Rotaract Club, but deep in my heart, I will really want to help as much as I can. For me, I am grateful that, in my lifetime, I have been though at least one of these trips. It changes my thinking and I am also grateful to the leaders (yongtai and yongmin) of MPX 3 for a chance of going for this trip. I will not forget this and to everyone who is reading this, thank you for all your effort to make this trip a success.
I strongly urge everyone here to help to donate to this little girl in this little village called Koh Krobey. She needs a bit of help to get to study for university. Interested parties can email Yongtai regarding about it.
Now, even though I can’t go back for a return trip to the village, over here, I hope the leaders and members of MPX 4 can carry on the joyfulness and laughter to villagers once again. I hope that there is MPX 5, MPX 6, and more in the future to cultivate more young people to be aware of the real world situation out there and ultimately fate brings another group of strangers together, once again, to the village of Koh Krobey, Cambodia.
