On the second day of our trip in Cambodia, we went to the slums T-house. We took a short bus ride into the slums which enabled us to see the living conditions of the people living in the slums. There, we had a great time interacting with the young children as well as teenagers who were wround our age. We played games, performed skits, sang songs with them and even helped in teaching the younger kids colours. In the afternoon, we split into two groups, one for teaching the older ones while the other group interacted the younger kids. For the older group, we played picture bingo with them to try to get to know them better. After that, we read to them a short picture story for them based on life values, such as treasuring things around them and about perseverance. We also had small group discussions to share about our lives in Singapore and Cambodia. For the younger group of kids, we played more interactive games with them. We taught them action words through a simple song. There was much fun and laughter. After taking a few photographs, we left the slums. I felt a little reluctant to leave as I have made new friends and it was definitely a fun and interactive session together.
