Kampung Baru Tiram Setia

Back again we were in Kampung Baru Tiram Setia, Tanjong Karang, Kuala Selangor.

A few new food stalls have been set up behind JKKK (our camp venue), one selling nice 雪花冰, one cooking tasty food.

Kids and kampung people are still the same, riding bicycles and motorbikes everywhere, every time.

We had 48 kids this time, most of them old kids who came for the last camp and there were also some new faces.

The kids' behavior is a lot better this time. The girl who was used to be so rude was no longer 'that' rude, she listened and learnt. The boy, little bumble bee, who could not sit for a second in the class can now sit more than a second, still not paying attention but paid a little, at least.

Parents' were more participative this time, judging from the number of parents attending our opening and closing ceremony.

My group won the best group this time, the kids were so happy, so did i.

The hardest kid in my group, 伟嘉, who did not care much on what was going on throughout the camp and liked to disturb others, was in tears when we were going to leave the kampung, to another teacher who were so closed to him, we cried too. I did not expect him to.

Pray that God will bless the kids. What they learnt during the camp will be planted deep into their heart and will not be moved by the temptations and bad influences that they are doing to encounter. Pray that they will continue being a good child in the family and good student in school. Pray that they will be loved enough, so that their heart will be softened.

Pray also God will bless the families there, especially the adults--parents and grandparents to take care and teach their children well, not having gender bias and too engrossed in their own business.

Pray for Siew Ching who travels from Subang to the Kampung every Saturday to teach English there. Pray for the revival in the kampung by bringing more Christian teachers in.

Thank you Lord for everything, especially throughout the organizing period and the camp--from the fund needed, people, transport, all were settled beautifully in the end. We can't thank you enough =D
