FORKERS' EXPERIENCE IN DAY ONE

Day 1
My first impression of siem reap(within the airport)
The airport was clean and tidy. Officers were focused with their duty. As we see them, I think leaders should take their assigned duties with full concentration.
My Second Impression of siem reap (within siem reap city)
There were many paddy fields there. When we think of them, I recall the hard work, dedication, care and concern that the farmers would have produced to have a good yield. So, we think these are the qualities that a good leader should have.
Silk worm farm
In this farm, this is our first time having a nervous encounter with many worms. In the farm, we learnt about the processes of making rough silk and fine silk, and how the workers weave them into beautiful scarf. To us, worms were things that had negative thoughts in our minds. However, to think that the worms are grown for a purpose (to produce silk), we believe leaders should have the end in mind.
The Primary School (My first impression)
The primary school was very quiet because it was Sunday! The place was very sandy and dirty at the same time.
The land mine museum
We could not believe that war was very dangerous in the past. The landmine bombs were huge. Even though some were small, they were able to cause great destruction. In the museum, we also learnt about the methods taken to detect and diffuse landmines. Through this, we learnt that a leader should take risks and be brave.
The farm orphanage
The children were friendly. It was easy to interact with them. They were helpful when it comes to us learning how to dance, play instruments and weave basket. We took the initiative to learn dance and basket weaving. We made many mistake but we knew that at the end of the day we would have learnt new skills. The kids keep asking us if we could be their friend or to be their sibling. When we heard them, we realized the importance of family. We also learnt to empathize and be gracious.
