How about making footprints in the hearts of the needy in Cambodia?
'Footprints' is a name of the overseas community service component in Joule Club. Last year, we did projects at a rubbish dump, village and orphanage. Picture speaks a thousand word, let the below pictures narrate then!
At the Rubbish Dump
Children at the Rubbish Dump. They walk, or rather, run around barefooted and some have cuts on their feet. Part of our project includes doing first aid for their wounds.
Children at rubbish dump, elated to don on their new clothes :) 
The friendly children at rubbish dump welcomed us with open arms and open hearts 
Even though we have a language barrier with the children, we communicated our love through hand games.
Nurse Sandra and Dr Joe opened a clinic and catered to the many in Rubbish Dump who are unwell. 
Giving out mosquito nets and water filters to residents of rubbish dump. They co-paid for the items while we contributed the rest. Look at their grateful smiles :)At the village
Michelle and Ben Poh working hard under the blazing sun filling sandbags. Even though the weather was hot and the bags were heavy, nobody stopped for a rest until all the bags were filled up. Thumbs up for the team spirit!! Yea!
Digging a deep hole so as to construct a communal toilet in the village. It was not easy work.. Ever wonder how is she going to hoist herself up after that? ;P self sacrificial spirit, toes up this time! :DAt the orphanage
Our masterpiece! It now overlooks a multi purpose rooftop. We painted soccer court lines and hopscotch lines on the ground so as to serve as a playing field for the orphans.

All gear up for the Christmas party at Orphanage! Time to perform after all our practices :)
With fireworks and sparklers, we really had a BLAST of a time at Cambodia in 2007! :)
