My first time spending such a meaningful Vesak with fellow friends and kids. My main task for the event is to help run our game stall! I didn't help much and mainly just have lotsa fun with kids running around. Somehow I feel that I am having more chances to work with kids since I joined FGS.
My stalls runs 3 games but I guess only 2 of them can be considered successful. We also have our drink stall which last min turns into a marketing strategy which has indeed boost the sales at least doubled. All thanks to Karen and Liyun!!
Manage to catch this shot on my phone. Our "little" monk does seem a little lost on what they are doing. And these lot is comparatively more "healthy and well fed" than those 2500 years ago.
Begging of alms to me is a good medicine to cure egoism and arrogance. If i were to run Singapore's education at will, I will make sure all pri school students to experience the real alms round. It is definitely much better than reading books on moral values. It will also allow the kids to learn humility which will definitely enrich their academic performance.
Although what was thrown into the bows are money, but I guess the activity has reach its initial intention. I do heard from someone that some kids cried and ran away than to be shaved bald. And some where pacified by sweets. haha!! They are jus kids!!
