Hello we are back again!
After breakfast we proceeded to the VietSing Industrial Park where we were welcomed by the Manager of the Vietnam Branch. He gave us an insight of the foreign investments made to the company. He also introduced economical statistics of the company to us. Next we proceeded to a room where there were sample products which the company manufactured. Next we went for a tour around the industrial park and were showed the different buildings and factories.
Next we went to a Pottery workshop where they had pottery with fine craftsmanship. An interesting fact was that most of the workers were actually handicapped in one way or another. We were given a tour around the workshop and we got to see how the products were done.
The highlight of the day was the CIP project to an Orphanage. We had planned many activities prior to the trip but unfortunately were unable to carry them as the older children were out at resort enjoying themselves. We were slightly dissapointed but nevertheless we enjoyed the time spent with the younger kids. As we were given a tour around the orphanage to see the kids, we were disheartened to see the different kids who had deformities and were physically impaired. We then realised how fortunate we were to have been able to be born without physical deformaties. We also were told that these kids were abandoned by their parents upon birth because of their states of handicap. We were assigned to certain rooms to play with the kids. It was a very fun and enriching experience for us and from this visit, we learnt to treasure what we have at present.
This is a Reflection by Weng Lum about his experience at the Orphanage.
" This CIP made me realise how fortunate we are to have our parents with us. We realised that the children are very determined to overcome all difficulties to live without their parents and also the phyical disabilities. We intereacted with them and also played some games with them. They were very happy as this might be one of the few times that they had visitors to visist them and also to play games and interact with them. "
By Reynold.
" I think that the visit is very fun. I realise that I am very fortunate as compared to some of the physically challenged children. But these children learn to lead a happy life and I hope to learn from them. I think that they are very happy because they are satisfied with what they have and do not ask for much."
Finally, we had to leave vietnam back for Singapore. We headed for the airport and at the Airport we Bade farewell to our trusty Tour Guide, Hoang(Pronounced as Wank). Also to mention, Long joined us and followed us on the last day. If you don't know, Long is from Zhonghua and is in 2e5'08. He is a citizen of vietnam!
The following are pictures taken on the last day, and the first picture was our Lunch. The fish is going to eat you!
