our flight back to Singapore
Thats all folks, the Rotaract Club 06 Medan Trip!
There we get to interact with the orphans/single parent (all very low income)

it's a hit with the kids, not to mention interactive, the one with the correct answer gets a balloon prize.
They work, farm for a living and to keep the orphanage operations alive
Still could not get enough of medan traffic, you need 6 eyes to drive here!

Dinner that night was at the rotary president residence
here, we make the balloons as prizes
