Day2 On our way to the local schools! -
Still could not get enough of medan traffic, you need 6 eyes to drive here! -
Our objectives includes student interaction and teaching english. -

And do they love balloons... -
The primary classrooms -

Dinner that night was at the rotary president residence -
where we had karaoke and some partying with the elders -
a memorable night! -
ending with a gift of appreciation to the president herself -
including the elders themselves! -
besides entertaining them in the common area -
our job there is to give the whole place a clean -
their basic grooming are cared for -
including the washing of their feets... -
while the rest of us went about sweeping, wiping and mopping the premises -
but the rewards at the end are priceless... -
encountering years of dust, lizard waste, dried urine, all packaged with a trademark smell... -
it's tedious cleaning up a very run down place -
it's a free old folks home, run purely on donations -
Day3, old folks home visit in the rural areas -
we had a rewarding meal at the end of the long day...
