The kids and youth touched our lives more than we could imagine, and through the short 7 days, our team experienced Proyouth, Cambodia. Through this trip, we redefined our lives, and made a difference to theirs too.
Thank you once again for this memorable journey. =)

“25th July 2010 – 30th July 2010
we started the journey, wanting to make a change to someone’s life…. and ended it with our lives changed.
it was ten days of great learning experience – we fought our greatest fears of dogs, bugs and living conditions; awesome companions – we sang, danced, drank, played, laughed, cried; and most importantly, we took a break from work and enjoyed the simple things in life.”

“A 2hrs plane ride from Sg, a totally different place from Sg. I wonder is this place just like the past of Sg.
Started off as a volunteering trip and ended off as a learning trip since I receive so much more than i give out.
So much things happen within the 9 days, with lots of laughters and joy becos of you all Cambolders. The value that I experience in this trip is so unique from the travels i went previously. Thank you for making this trip, an unforgettable one!”

Cara, Lyndsey, Geoff, Naomi, Rachel and Sarah visited BBLC and spent times with the afternoon session students
BBLC @ work at Toul Rovieng Pri Sch at Pouk District, 280 plus of children received their new pair of slippers. Most of them walked to school barefooted or with a pair of wore off slippers passed down from their older sidlings. Small donation from The 48th Boys’ Brigade Singapore Company had make a great impact to their daily lives especially raining season where everywhere are muddy and little sharp edged rocks protruding out after the rain washed off the soild surface. 1.20 USD per pair and the design we chosen has proven to be most durable! To the BBLC members, they felt happy that they had help in such a meaning project to their younger khmer children – LTA Kong Chak Mun, Country Representive, The Boys’ Brigade Cambodia. Captain, The 28th Singapore Boys’ Brigade Singapore Company.
“…In particular, their never-say-die spirit and their keen interest for learning really enlightened me. Our boys have gained so much from this trip and this knowledge and insights would be crucial and vital for our future endeavours…”
