On the 1st October, 29 Interactive Media Informatics and 19 Information Technology students with Mr Sankara(IMI Lecturer) and Ms Christine Lau(IT Lecturer) went to do an Overseas Community Project(OCP) at Cambodia for 8 days.
The main Objective of this OCP was to foster the spirit of volunteerism, raise awareness, appreciation of a foreign culture, develop leadership, interpersonal skills and understand the environment and social-economical development issues in Cambodia.
Before going, some of them manage to find some sponsors and donors for the T-shirts, shoes, stationary, school bags and simple gifts we were going to give them. The others taught them english at their level, played interactive games such as Captain's Ball with them and perform a cultural item for the school. It was lots of fun.
We brought our energy and creativity which the kids there enjoyed and appreciate. I'm glad I had the chance to experience this amazing trip!
