Saints Productions

Dear all,
I'm attaching the video links for the past few cohorts for you to share in their experience and hopefully it can stimulate you to think about what you want to achieve individually and as a team this November in Ban Pha Tek.

This was the video you saw this year involving your J2 seniors:

I'm sure you all have seen Daughtry's "What about now" video last Friday. It has been quite thought-provoking to me, even as someone who was been on OCIP trips before.
I have also read some of the comments posted by the Youtube community and they are indeed very earnest.

What about you?
I would like to hear some of your thoughts about this video.
Let's think about NOW to start to make a difference not only to the foreign community, but more importantly to yourself.

I feel this video is indeed thought provoking and is very apt in terms of what we are going to Thailand to do. We really do not realise how fortunate we are. To have clean water for consumption, to have food for all 3 meals, to have a bed to sleep in and a roof over our head. We simply take it for granted when there are people out there so much more worse off than we are. They starve everyday, do not recieve proper education, they are homeless, the list could go on and on. However this is why we are having an expedition to Thailand. To try and make a change in the world. To give others a chance of having even the slightest resemblence of what we very fortunate people have. Hopefully we will indeed help change their life for the better!
