Thanks to the teams’s efficiency, we unexpectedly finished up 4 days worth of work in 2 days so today was a pretty relaxing day. After multiple trial-and-errors and back-breaking practices over the past few days, the cement team’s work has gotten a lot easier and faster. That gave Ivan and I sometime in the morning … Continue reading Day 10
Day 9 Today we went to a new site to build another waste bank. It was much smaller and shadier compared to the place we went to yesterday, so many of us were relieved.

Plus the little local … Continue reading Mok’s Day 5
Today, we started out with a river clean up. We have been cleaning up the same location for 3 days now but each time we go there, the river banks are filled with new rubbish again.

It’s been a packed day for all of us as we continued with river cleaning and construction of thr butterfly garden/park. I’m glad that I interacted with a few locals during river cleaning.
