Insights:

I’m so happy that the school is allowing us to

join this kind of activity that can help us enjoy ourselves by
helping the poor people build their own homes. Every one of us
experience many things and learn a lot of lessons from it. I as 3rd
yr. student am very proud and happy that I can also help the poor
people even in a simple way not just our parents. We did our best
to build a good home for them to leave on. We really strive hard to
survive in getting gravels under the heat of the sun even though it’s
very hot and tiring.
We are thankful that our teachers gave us
opportunity to help the poor people and make them happy with
their new homes. I enjoyed a lot in this activity and it is one of my
happy moments in my life. I realized that building a house is not so
easy to done in day but I really enjoyed because we help a lot to
build new shelter for poor families. I surely can’t forget this and it
is so memorable for us because it’s our first time.
