Day 1 – Singapore to Sichuan
We gathered for an early check in on 13th Dec 2009, 12.30am at Changi Airport Terminal 1. While we were crowding around Terminal 1 saying goodbyes to our beloved friends and family, the leaders were busy collecting our passports for group check-in; the logistics team was busy distributing pink ribbons, counting and recounting the boxes we were bringing over to China.
Team X had given us a pleasant surprise with their balloony flowers, and sent us off with a “G-Double O-D J-O-B” cheer and a special dance.
On board CA404!
Reached 成都双流机场 at 6.50am in the morning, where we had our breakfast at KFC, changed into our trusty thermals and all.
8.30am : Proceeded to load all our luggage onto the bus and set off to Qiong Lai Zhen (邛崃镇)
9.30am : Reached Hong Yan Mart (红艳超市) to stock up on our necessities, such as water, toilet paper and food.
We arrived safely at Nong Jia Le (农家乐) at 11.15am for lunch. We were starving!
Some of us were exploring the place before lunch was served.
By 1.30pm, we reached You Zha Dong Guan Tai Shang Ai Xin Primary School (油榨东莞台商爱心小学), hence after referred to as You Zha Primary School（油榨小学）.We were warmly greeted by 何主任 and he kindly gave us a tour around the school and the dormitories.
We also unloaded our luggage. For the first night, the girls’ lodging will be the science laboratory on the second floor, the guys on a spare room on the first floor. We then proceeded to set up the tents and later, in our respective workgroups, discussed the activities to be conducted over the next 7 days. The leaders went to the 公安/卫生院 to recee the places. P&P discussed with何主任 the design of the mural paintings and did amendments to the design.
By 6.15pm, we walked to农家乐 for dinner. Dinner was served at 6.30pm. This is a typical scene along the walk from 农家乐 to school.
After dinner, approximately 7.30pm, we headed back to the school. Exhausted but still in good spirits, we had our first debrief in the teachers’ room long table at 7.45pm to discuss the activities for the next day. 何主任 also gave us an introduction to the history behind You Zha Primary School (油榨小学),which was originally a 9-year school (the compulsory education in China) and later changed into a 6-year primary school to accommodate the children that were relocated to the mountains near 油榨乡.
Jinnie also started her facilitation – our Angel and Mortal game, which provided entertainment while we were in Sichuan and suspiciously went “are you my angel?” for the next 13 days. After the meeting, the girls unpacked and lights out was 10pm.
Till then, Day 2!
Loves,
