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