it's farewell at the airport after our last fellowship dinner with the hosts
The kids are a happy bunch
the stand-by us-ers with Lisa's Dad
our last night at one of the 'fast food' coffeeshops with more NasiAyam!
we celebrated Ann's early birthday with an opening by the rotary president
the light rain didn't drench our BBQ one bit
There, we tried the local steam/roasted corn delicacy
Day6, the highland in the Morning
The day followed by a visit to the brastagi market
nice early morning walk
The night was spent at the brastagi highland resort
we couldn't stop taking pictures here...
Peili presenting a token of appreciation to Lisa's Dad for the trip
where we had a overnight fellowship BBQ!
there Charcoal and Diesel grills!!
our flight back to Singapore
Thats all folks, the Rotaract Club 06 Medan Trip!
They work, farm for a living and to keep the orphanage operations alive
There we get to interact with the orphans/single parent (all very low income)
and there's gifts for everybody!
theres horses, not to mention loads of natural landmines everywhere
and there's cake for everyone!
Day5, Bus trip...
with spectacular scenery
before heading to the local supermarket to purchase our BBQ items for Day5
We were brought around the orphanage farms with vegatable farms, pigs and rabbits!
a farewell shot before leaving the highlands
Still could not get enough of medan traffic, you need 6 eyes to drive here!
don't you take my sotong balls! (repeat in indian accent)
it's a hit with the kids, not to mention interactive, the one with the correct answer gets a balloon prize.
Our task for the day is at the highland catholic orphanage
and Ning's speciality chocolate fondue
it's a free old folks home, run purely on donations
and we even get to ride some back at the resort
For the secondary students
it's almost like genting, foggy and cloudy but not too cold either
Lisa's granddad showing the rotary stand and bells
besides entertaining them in the common area
all board!
here, we make the balloons as prizes
including the elders themselves!
it's tedious cleaning up a very run down place
Dinner that night was at the rotary president residence
The pastor of the orphanage
Day5, Bus trip up to Brastagi Highlands
