I strongly feel that this trip to Cambodia has changed me. My thoughts, my feelings and my actions. I have matured. I am more appreciative of things. I am thankful for the things around me. I learn to make use of every moment that I have to do something meaningful. Helping people has turned out to be a pleasure and not a chore.

During the trip in Cambodia, I've experienced what it is like to be in a less-developed country. This trip has caused a great impact in my life. I am inspired by the optimistic view of the Cambodians. They are eager and willing to learn new things. They are positive towards life and don't let obstacles block stop them from learning. They do not think of their poverty as an end to their learning. They use each and every obstacle to keep walking on - To keep on learning, growing and blooming. I am amazed by them and their courage to face everything.
They treasure what they have. What about us Singaporeans? How often is it that we start grumbling and moaning to our parents. 'I want a new camera!', 'Why can't I have an Iphone?','I want new clothes!'. Why can't we just learn to appreciate what we have? Be grateful for what you have. Be reminded that there are more who are not as blessed as you.
Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another. -Marquis de Condorcet
