How do you feel about the trip? Why so?

Frankly, I am a little uncertain about the trip since this is the first time I am doing such a major project overseas. This is partly because I am afraid that I would not be able to adapt to the new environment and most importantly, not capable of guiding and teaching the children there. I kept thinking : There could be a million probabilities of things not turning up the way we expect them to and at that point of time, would we be able to handle these special circumstances?

Nevertheless, I would like to try the service learning out and it would also be interesting to see if i could perform beyond my own expectations.

My main goal for this Cambodia trip is just so that the children there would be able to put the knowledge gained from us into good use in order to improve their lifestyles. Also, I would like to take the chance to see and experience for myself how it feels like to be living in such conditions and to do something meaningful.
