I came back yesterday from the trip. The trip went really well. This year, unlike the year before, we went to more northern provinces where Tamil live. We haven't been able to visit there because of the civil war, but since the war is over we could go there.
It was harder than the year before when I first participated in this mission trip. Language was the first one; we have learnt basic Singhala to communicate with the children in the vilage. It's been absolutely no problem till last year because we only went to the Singhalese vilage and one Tamil area, Hatton. HOWEVER, since we visited more Tamil areas this time, language was the hardest part.
Also, since we had to travel further up to north in Sri Lanka, literally we LIVED in the bus in most time. Besides, we had to prepare for the session early in the morning around 7:30 and then the session starts at 9:00. We do many activities we have prepared, which we called the Education Center, where we teach the love of God and what He did for us by four different fun activities; two were games and another two were basically making cards and the cross. We have lunch at 1:00 PM through 2:00 PM. Then next session starts. From this session, we basically socialize with the children by many different games, which is a HUGE exercise since we have to play with the children but at the same time we have to make the game get going. So the fatigue was another problem. Everyone who came never complained or frowned, but we smiled and laughed all the time because this was indeed a fun trip with many good people.
The performances also went really well as well: two dances organised by us (Teenagers For Christ(TFC)) and several songs prepared by the Dansandong Church team. Children really liked them, I supose; children were clapping while we were dancing and I believe this was in response to our performances and also they were trying to learn the song and finally singing along with us.
This was indeed an excellent and a successful trip, I'd say. This was somewhat sad as well since this would be my last mission trip with the Dansandong Church since I will be graduated by the time next year and I won't be in Sri Lanka by then. I'm thinking I could do better or I could work harder, but I feel like I didn't and so this remains a little regretful to me. I will never be able to forget the smiles on children's faces. I wish I can contact with the team personally later and come on to this trip again one day.
