Also speaking at the ceremony, one of the<br />
participants, Ms Rajveen Kaur, shared, “if one<br />
was to ask me what I have gained from Project<br />
Khwaish XVII, I would say that it is the value<br />
of teamwork and the 20 other participants<br />
who have become family. I have also learnt<br />
that some of the best things in life – the love<br />
and blessings of an entire village, come at no<br />
additional cost.”<br />
Mr Faraaz Amzar Mohamed Farook, another<br />
participant who also shared his experiences<br />
during the project, was impressed with the<br />
children at the school. He stated, “They displayed energy, youthful curiosity and a never-ending<br />
thirst for life. Somehow, with the absence of modern technology, their minds and bodies appeared<br />
more active. They found joy in the smallest of things. I remember one boy who was elated simply<br />
because I stopped to speak with him and play a simple game with him.”<br />
The project was supported by the Youth Expedition Project (powered by Youth Corps Singapore), the<br />
Lee Foundation, TriStar Electronics, Thakral Group, Labour Tel Management Corporation Pte Ltd, and<br />
individual donors and well-wishers.
