Mawai Eco Camp

4 PDP schools went to Mawai Eco Camp over the last 3 days. The whole trip included climbing Gunung Arong, a water obstacle course, an an educational swamp walk.

I'm very proud of my Springfield boys; not only were they cooperative throughout the camp, there was almost no complain from any of them. The swamp walk was especially testing for a lot of the students. A lot of them were causing commotions because of leeches or becuase they got stuck, almost knee deep, in the mud.
But my boys were really having fun going around support those who were crossing mud patches by standing in the middle and sinking in slightly more with the weight of each person they supported, moving around with the salt that they have so that they can pull out the leeches of those who are paralyzed by the leeches sucking on them so much so that they can only scream but couldn't pull or flick the leeches off.
They were great bacause they were not just all talk and no action, and neither are they the kind who wishes other people's fate to worse as bad, or worse than theirs.

Bernie always said that how we play games is a reflection of life. I think thats true. And through this trip, I have fully experienced the meaning of the phrase: "empty vessels make the most noise"
