Day 5

Day 5- Hanna
-We went to a shopping center near the city. It was quiet big and easy to get lost in. We passed by “Adidas” on the way to “Landmark”. I bought two books. One for me and one for my sister. We were given about 2 hours to shop. Mr Anaur gave us 30 min to roam around “Landmark”. We then went to the “Arcade”. We then went to KFC to eat dinner.

Day 4

I did these things:
-I played board and card games like "Monopoly" , "Scotland Yard" and "Uno"
-I slept
-I played at my buddy's playground
I observed these things at my buddy's home:
-The host family's home is much more spacious than my home
-The host family's kitchen is situated between the buddy's room and her parents room
I observed these things in my own home:
-The kitchen is situated in front of my parents room
-The space is a bit tight
This is the most interesting thing I did:
-I learnt to play another detective game besides "Cluedo"

Day 3 Reflections

DAY 3 –HANNA


I observed these things in the CIP school: -The classrooms do not have any chairs or tables. – The infrastructure of the school is weak and
the arrangement classrooms are messy.
-The people studying in the CIP school used to be child laborers

I did these activities in the CIP school
-I took photos of the new library and the art activities with Ryan Lai
I have learnt these three things in the CIP school/fund-raising activities
-We are lucky to have families as some of the students have lost their families
-We are fortunate enough to have food.
-We are lucky to have tables and chairs to sit on

These two things have made me a better individual
-The children wear their home clothes and we are lucky enough to have school clothes
-The classrooms in the CIP school have no tables and chairs and we are fortunate enough to have chairs and tables to sit on in our classrooms

One thing I would remember the most from this CIP experience
-We should feel lucky to be living in Singapore

Differences:

CIP school- The school building even doesn’t have enough space to have a hall
Gateway-The school building has a little space to put a small hall
Anderson- The school building has enough space to put a hall.
