All
There we get to interact with the orphans/single parent (all very low income)
and there's gifts for everybody!
and there's cake for everyone!
They work, farm for a living and to keep the orphanage operations alive
Day5, Bus trip...
Peili presenting a token of appreciation to Lisa's Dad for the trip
We were brought around the orphanage farms with vegatable farms, pigs and rabbits!
Titantic flying stance anyone?
Our task for the day is at the highland catholic orphanage
don't you take my sotong balls! (repeat in indian accent)
with spectacular scenery
and Ning's speciality chocolate fondue
sotong watching!
a farewell shot before leaving the highlands
it's almost like genting, foggy and cloudy but not too cold either
Thats all folks, the Rotaract Club 06 Medan Trip!
The late night was spent at the jetty..
theres horses, not to mention loads of natural landmines everywhere
before heading to the local supermarket to purchase our BBQ items for Day5
The pastor of the orphanage
and we even get to ride some back at the resort
Day5, Bus trip up to Brastagi Highlands
all board!
Dinner that night was at our very hospitable rotary president's home again
up to Brastagi Highlands!
it's a free old folks home, run purely on donations
it's tedious cleaning up a very run down place
including the elders themselves!
& see how big their fruits are!
Still could not get enough of medan traffic, you need 6 eyes to drive here!
it's a hit with the kids, not to mention interactive, the one with the correct answer gets a balloon prize.
Lisa's granddad showing the rotary stand and bells
besides entertaining them in the common area
Here we are at the school
For the secondary students
And balloons come standard!
Dinner that night was at the rotary president residence
not to mention enough Scuba Mags reading for at least a year!
as you can expect it, its a whole assortment of BBQ seafood!
catchin' up on the past diving groups photos (who left their mark here)
but the rewards at the end are priceless...
OMG, a pile of underwater gear!
here, we make the balloons as prizes
love the untouched wilderness & shorelines
Next came the 5min suit-up challenge
A feast till dark
no night dive yet...
Rotary Fellowship Dinner
I just had to stop choosing gear with matching colors!
Day2 On our way to the local schools!
