Project Sihanoukville 4 is an overseas community involvement project I completed in my first year at Singapore Polytechnic. During the project, my team and I developed and executed an English conversational programme for students in Don Bosco Technical and Hotel Schools in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
I am proud to have gone through Project Sihanoukville 4. It is among my first efforts to challenge my craft in facilitating a classroom programme with a group of students and the experience has been rewarding in my development as a drama facilitator. The lesson plans and reflection piece are testaments to my diligence in ensuring the delivery of an optimal educational experience during and after the lesson.
Yong Xiang has a heart for people and this altruism translates to a visible personal motivation to want to do his best during the project. His commitment and determination to see things through were personally uplifting to us, as project leaders, to witness.
