Megan's day 2 reflection ☺️

Day 2 reflection : This morning, we headed to a UNESCO site called Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary managed to earn its title today all thanks to Mr Seub, a committed man who dedicated his whole life to conserve the sanctuary. I am truly touched by his perseverance and love for nature. Without him, many rare plants and animals will perish and future generations will not be able to see them anymore. As we were entering the sanctuary, my group was lucky enough to chance upon 2 deers. That was the only wildlife we managed to see at the sanctuary as the other wildlife live deeper in the forest. 
In the afternoon, we visited Ban E-mard E-Sai School, a school for a hill tribe in Uthai Thani. We were warmly welcomed by the students there and each of us personally received a garlan. I felt extremely honoured to be there. The students were very enthusiastic and friendly to see us. I managed to start a conversation as well as take some photos with them. Their school facility was not as great as compared to ours in Singapore however, they were still very cheerful and happy to be able to attend school. Upon witnessing that, i learnt the value of gratitude. I learnt to be thankful for everything i have in Singapore as the children in that school has simpler and more basic facilities, they do not have very advanced infrastructure whatsoever. 
All in all, i found today's extremely really enriching and eye opening. I will get to learn and experience even more tomorrow.
