this camp was held over 3 days @ ECP and Changi...
and despite the odds of planning, and how unready we were at the beginning, the camp turned out very well, and i believe beyond the expectations of many of us.

and at this camp, i realised the importance of always remembering the true intention of helping out at any activity. bro zul said to us at the very beginning - that we needed to purify our intentions, else all our efforts would go to moot. for me, it went further than that: it was almost a psychological issue. if i had not kept myself sane and grounded, knowing that i needed to do it for the kids, rather than for the adults, i don't think that i could have lasted. i told myself that this camp was for the benefit of the children, and not for the sake of proving the abilities of any one person... and it was only through repeatedly telling myself this, that i could bring myself to last the three days... that was how tiring and stressful being involved was.

but it all turned out good, and i am glad to have been a part of it anyways.
i just pray that people learn and see things differently now that the camp has ended, and that everyone becomes a better person having gone through this challenge.
