This year again, I join the 30Hr Famine camp again as a facilitator. Hee hee...This year quite different coz I won't be in a double role. Last year I need to help out the campees to play the simulation game and also as a facilitator. But this year I quite relax...hee hee coz got others faci to help out.
Anyway this year simulation game quite different from last year as it is based on 8 different developing countries as all facilitators are becoming UN Envoys and depends on the size of the countries, allocated different number of UN Envoys. Like mine..my country that deploy is Zambia. There are some countries like Lesotho, Cambodia, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Myanmar, Ethiopia and Bangladesh. Well, as for Zambia, there are should be 95 campees but it turn out to be 79 campees...but anyway less people more easy to manage...kekeke...but this still turn out ot be quite disorganise. So I have to keep shouting here and there to give instruction...No choice, military train so happen to use this method. :P
Well, the first day was basically more on the role play simulation game as every country they need to chose their own president and other 4 leaders are (education, Manpower, Food and water, Health). The nation have to achieve 100% edcation for all children and 80% for nation (Zambia happen to be most well educated :P). Ensure each person have 25L of water and 2.5kg of food ( Err...too bad everyone are out for money so they didn't get much food so...only can support 2 people...hee hee). Achieve 100% vaccination for the nation ( I think the hospital too long q liao so alot of campees kena cheated to do healthly lifestyle...so that means we didn't achieve much). But the nation treasury was a huge increase coz beginnign was only $202 but in the end...the nation came in a income of $1000 surplus. I guess that alot of them when for illegal jobs like sell organ, drug trafficking and prostitution.
Too bad due to the time allocated, the organisers felt that they campers are having so much fun on the game so they cancel the last stage of the game where there should be war and the nation have to go thru the tough times. Anyway, we have workshops on poverty and Aids. Most of all, have an oppuninity to invite a young boy from cambodia to speak to us how he have gone thru. Kinda sad listening to his story.
However, at the end of the day. We make it so special that everyone have a tealight to light up and as facilitator, we started to blow off which represent the life and death. And came out to debrief the whole day event and asking each individual one about their feeling and comments.
On the 2nd day which still have 10hrs to breakfast...we went to Tampines West to collect old newspapers and clothings as a fund raising. Leading a team of 26 campers which is twice the size i took last year and require to cover 14 blocks of HDB. I beginning was so enthu...but old liao...cannot run...so start deploy people to collect...heehee. However, we finish quite fast under my in charge, and the lorry was pack with stuffs...
After the collection, i purpose bring the campers to the nearby coffeeshop where to temp them...especially the carrot cake aroma was so strong that everyone was grumpling about it...I so mean...kekeke
Anyway...back to Republic poly, as the first team to return back so we help out to clean up out home base and relax and wait for other teams to return. well, after concert we countdown, everyone so excited! Then we count down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! Wa we screamed like siao! haha! 30hrs of hunger ended...everyone rush out for food. As usual BurgerKing sponser the meal...whahaha
It was a great fun and tiring experience and hoping next year I can really make it coz next year I dunno whether I'm still in Hawaii for overseas depolyment yet or not.
That is my team member facilitators - Ziling, Ryan and Chiew Lin

After newspapers collection, everyone is tired...time to Zzzzz
