School of Business-Operation Cambodia 2007
Welcome to the official blog of Singapore Polytechnic’s School of Business Operation Cambodia 2007.
Between 26 August 2007 and 6 September 2007, 17 students and 2 lecturers from School Business were in Cambodia on a trip to challenge their perspectives.
The team arrived in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia and stayed there for a night.
During the day, we had visited the Chong Ek Killing Fields and Tous Sleng S21 Museum-Both remnants of the Khmer Rougue Regime. We also had a chance to visit ESPECA Orphanage and be entertained by the residents with their performances. We had a rare honour and oppurtunity to visit the Documentation Center.
We did also a fair bit of shopping at Russian Market.
The team had spent 7days at Hope Village, Prey Veng Province. The orphanage run by Operation Hope Foundation, Singapore had 105 children. We were tasked with teaching English to 37 students from grade 4 and above for the next five days. We were also given the oppurtunity make soap from scratch and distribute them in a village by going through an “action-packed and suspense” trip.
We spent our final leg in Siem Reap where we visited another orphanage and of course it would not be complete without visiting the Angkor Wat.
In this blog we will share with you our experiences through our reflections from this trip. The reflections updated regularly are written by the 19 big hearted souls themselves and are randomly picked by the blog editor, Bob.
Random Facts of Cambodia and even about our trip will also be posted too.
Bob will also include a chronological account of the trip with pictures. So do look out for our entries!
