Went to east wood valley to attend a self-reliant camp as Curtin Volunteers(CV) last Saturday and Sunday. It's awesome! I've learnt a lot of new stuffs from both the organizers and the kids. All the kids are so cute and adorable. Thanks for giving me this chance to be one of the volunteers.

Basically, this camp is a self-reliant camp. It involves giving sex education and eye protection program for the kids. Their aim is to train the kids to be independent and learnt to appreciate everything their parents done for them. Our parents work very hard to give us everything we need. Losing either one of them will be very heart breaking. The organizers showed those kids a video about a guy in Taiwan who lose both his arms and legs during his work. He said the moment he woke up in hospital realizing he already lose both his arms and legs, he felt nothing. He don't feel sad even though his mother was just sitting next to his bed crying. He said he looked at his arm for a very long time without feeling anything. After that incident he needs his family to feed him, bathe him and everything. He thought and thought and realized this is not the solution. That is the moment he start to think of a way to feed himself. He design a spoon that can fit into his arm so that he can feed himself. He became a very famous artist anyway. He manage to use his mouth to paint paintings. Very impressive. 

"He didn't give up his life in his darkest moment and why should we? " I told this to myself after I watched that video. I still have both my arms and legs and my condition was way better than his. Why should I give up? Why should I start stressing out myself when I get into problems? WAKE UP!! 

That is the moment I thought to myself. Even though you think you are old enough to know everything, but sometimes you just don't. Even kids can think way better than you, kids can be more mature than you. So joining this camp is awesome. It gives impact in my life. Such a great experience. :)

We had fun playing games with all the kids. We even babysit few kids at night. HAHAHA! Well, they are very cute indeed. Wish them good luck in the future and gambateh! ;P
