1)I was happy and excited when i heard that we are going to donate stuff to the orphanage home because it was the first i donated something for a orphanage home. And for the gliders, it was fun as my flights and i get to bong together,cut the woodens together, designing the woods and getting to know my seniors.
2) I think we did quite well for donations. But i think we can improve on the gliders by having more time do it as we rushed to do our gliders and by watching a video of instructions of how to the gliders.

1) one thing I have learnt is to be grateful as so many kids in Singapore are not as privileged as us. I was also glad and elated to donate items they really needed. I also had a fun time bonding with my seniors while making the gliders.

2)I think we should have been assigned to bring the donating items so we would have bought a equal amount of each item.

One thing I have learnt from the Changkat challenge is that we take the simplest things we have for granted. I have learnt to appreciate more the things around me that I dismiss as a right. I learnt to give back to the community  for the privilege and blessings I have. I am and will always be very grateful to have been able to contribute to this activity of giving back to the needy. I was also truly moved by the fact that we all were so generous in donating to the children's home. It made me believe in humanity and inspired me to always do my best, to always be grateful for what we have.

However, one thing I think we can improve on is giving back to a different range of people instead of just children's homes.We could donate these hampers to families or elderlies who are in dire need of help and assistance especially since during the pandemic many people have lost their jobs and thus don't have a stable source of income for food and other basic necessities.

1) I have leanrt that most kids over there does not have enought supplies. I was so happy as i donated some stuff and most of my flight mates actually contributed and donated some important stuff such as soap , deodorant,etc.
2)it could be improved by if we could have known if the things were donated by other cadets so that there will be no confusions.

1. my experience through this changkat challenge was that i had a lot fun guiding my junior and senior cadets by doing some hands-on activities for example making balsa wood gliders and also by decorating the gliders. eventhough i had made some mistakes on making the measurements of the glider, i tried to not give up and continue to finish making it. furthermore, it was very heartwarming that we were able to donate items to the children in the Jamiyah Children's Home but sadly we cannot give the gliders and the donations personally to them and we also cannot intermingle with the children there due to social distancing measures/ covid-19 pandemic.

2. one thing that can be improved is that we should have more time on making the balsa wood gliders as i have seen some of us including myself and my groupmates are struggling making the gliders with the time given.

1) I was contented to be able to participate in the Changkat Challenge and being able to go to the Children home. A week before we had to do this Changkat Challenge , my classmates and i were also making gliders. So i knew what i had to do and the expectations when it comes to making balsa wood gliders. It was a very memorable experience for me as i was unexpectedly able to get along well with some of the junior cadets. Another bonus points for me was having a group member who is able to draw/colour. From a person who isn't good in art , i feel really lucky to be able to have someone i can rely on when it comes to drawing or colouring. During the preparation , my group members made a few mistakes on the length of some parts of the gliders but we persevered until we made it till success. Overall , i really had fun with the junior and senior cadets , and the senior cadet leaders.

2) One thing that can be improved is to assigned everyone on what they can bring for the donation after asking them their budget so that we can prevent from having misconception or confusion.

1. i was happy that i could donate the items to the kids in need. The glider activity was fun as i get to be creative and bond with my seniors.

2) I think that we did an amazing job with the donation and i we all should write our own note to them instead.

1. It was heartwarming to know that the items I donated were going to bring a smile on many children's faces and this act helped me realize how lucky I am to have a family I could spend time with and it breaks my heart to know that some children do not have that, which is why I am so glad to be apart of this act.
2. Overall I think we did really well with the amount of items we donated but if we could improve something it would be to send more letters to make the childrens happy and I really hope to give the donations to all the children face to face to get to know them as soon as the pandemic becomes better.

1. My experience during the Changkat challenge was that i had so much fun doing it. We get to built a wooden glider, and designed it. We get to know more about the donation that was happening, and we wrote a lovely letter to the Orphanage home.

2. i think it can be improved by having more time to do the glider itself, because some had to rush cutting and decorating the glider as the time was about to finish but some of us had finished the glider.

1.) My experience during the changkat challenge was very interesting to me as I have never done this kind of things before in NCC. It was a very memorable event to me as during the first session where we had to do the gilders and wrap our donations, we got the chance to learn more about our sec 1 juniors and we also had the chance to bond with them. On the second session where some of us had to bring our wrapped donations to the Jamiyah Children's home, I felt very pleased that the children in the home are going to be happy with their new items that were donated by us.

2.) One thing that I think that should've been done is that each one of us should've been assigned on what item to donate as there were some of us who were confused and some brought the same items to donate.

1)I was very glad to be a part of this VIA activity. After a year of not doing balsa wood glider through this VIA I got the chance to guide my junior and senior cadets to build a wooden glider for the children. During the preparation, my junior and senior cadets made some mistakes while measuring and drawing the parts for the gliders. Hence, with my experience, I was able to correct them and create the wooden gliders.
2)My expectations for the future is that I hope I can embark on a bigger VIA project such as guiding the community to create wooden gliders. It was indeed a fulfilling experience and I'm really happy that I was part of the VIA project

1)I have learnt that most kids in Children's homes don't have enough things like soap,deodarant and sanitisers.I am so glad I was able to contribute and help make the care packages.
2)It could have been improved by making an inventory of the items so we could known if the things we are planning to donate have already been donated by others so that there would not have been any confusions.

1.When I first knew about the challenge we were asked to do. I was excited and happy because I know that children from there cannot get certain food or facility that we are blessed with which made me realised that I am lucky and shouldn't take things I have for granted. Thanks to my ma'am's and senior who have thought over this well and hard this was executed well

2.I think something that could be improved is that there could have been a budget and could have assigned cadets on what to buy or give a category to half of each part so that we will exactly know what to buy and there will be no confusions.
