Agenda 6: Photo sharing, Q&A
Miss Koh showed us photos of the trip last year. We will be going back to Dapo Town again, and we were told that we would be using firewood to cook. We were also asked to remember to keep putting on sunblock, as it is easy to get sun-burnt there, even though it is cold.

Q: Some of the common illness to expect.
A: Food poisoning, which turned to contagious stomach flu (this was due to poor storage of food)

Q: Purpose of trip.
A: We will be building a hostel which will accommodate students and teachers who stay very far from the school.

Q: The possibility of earthquakes.
A: We will not proceed with the trip if there is reported earthquakes. We might be taught earthquake drills in the event that we experience earthquakes during our stay there.

A: The amount you want to bring for shopping.
