We had breakfast at the canteen around 7.30 in the morning. After breakfast, we proceeded to the first activity , which was bamboo rafting. We felt quite excited for the activity before assembling at the venue. Once there, the instructors divided us into 3 groups. We received a task sheet which included instructions and various information for the activity.The trainer gave us 30 minutes to discuss on the methods and materials to be bought with imaginary "money". This activity allowed our groups to bond together, as we worked together to complete the tasks.
discussing seriously on the use of the "money"...
After that, we went to collect the items and we started to build our own raft. We faced many problems, such as the barrels dropping out of the frames and also the hot sun shining on us. However, our trainers and teachers gave us some tips on how to build the raft properly.
thinking and building the raft...
After an hour or so of hard work,the groups had completed their rafts. Two of our groups lifted the raft and carried the raft down to the river where we are supposed to raft in. One of the groups didn't managed to bring their raft successfully down to the river.Their raft broke when lifted up due to the detachment of the strings, resulting in them having to borrow another raft from one of the other groups :(
Many people from the 3 different groups fell into the river when they were in the process of rafting. However, the help of their life-jackets and friends enabled them to get up onto the raft again. Thus, this activity was teamwork intensive and allowed us to understand each other better. *not forgetting that we had a lot of fun.
life jackets...
the raft broke! :)
happily sitting on the raft....
oh! Jak dropped into the water, now struggling to climb up the raft!
After the bamboo rafting activity, we went to clean up and went for another filling meal again, which was lunch :) Community Involvement Programme (CIP) was up next!
We went to one of the schools near our hostel and we were divided into two groups once again, which was the interaction group and the painting group. The interaction group was in-charge of interacting with the primary school students, which includes story-telling, playing games with them and teaching them some songs. In fact, they knew many things, such as English songs, which we didn't expect them to know. This really surprised us!
the school that we went to...
working hard! :D
yay!we're working hard too!!:D
interacting with the students!
The painting group was in-charge of painting the walls and stairs with pictures, text,arrows,etc. It requires precise effort and we had to make sure nothing went wrong. Otherwise, the whole painting effort by other classes and our class will go down the drain. All of this lasted for 2 hours before heading back to the resort.The CIP gave us a sense of responsibility as we helped the school to paint the wall and interacted with the students there. Anyway, we felt happy and satisfied after the CIP. :)
our class painted the white square grids!
Thats all for day 3! *not forgetting the clean-up and dinner. :)
And here, it ended the third day of our Taman Negara Trip 2008...
