What was supposed to be a simple trip to the
countryside of Chengdu turned out to be life-memorable experience for
the 5 youths. |

One of the youths Alvin, took the
job as the main teacher because he taught in Singapore before while the
other 4 stayed in the class as tutors. Alvin taught the children three fruits they often see around them, apple, grape and peach. The children were trilled to learn something new. They had been in the country side all their lives and never got to learn English. They were very enthusiastic and eager to learn. In return, the children taught the 5 youths to read Chinese poems. The youths felt that the children's willingness to learn was very high. |
| Time came for the youths
to leave and move on to their next destination. The children immediately
ran home to get some souvenirs for the youths. Julian was given a bullet
shell, and Magdalene was given a handmade chatek (feather toy). It was an emotional moment when Julian and the children left one another teary-eyed. The children asked when they would be back again. However, the youths knew that this would be the last time they would ever meet again, and didn't know what to say. The youths were extremely touched by the childrens' sincerity and eagerness to learn. This day will stay forever in their hearts. As the bus left, Alvin's eyes turned red when he saw a card given by a student which read "Mr Yeo, You are the best teacher."
