DHS YAs who went for kayaking!

On the 11 of January, a few of our YAs took part in the YABC kayaking activity held at Pandan Reservoir! We had a briefing conducted by our instructors, Diane and Alvin, before we set out in our double kayaks. The instructors taught us a few paddling techniques and we were given time to kayak around the reservoir. After that, the instructors decided to play a "water splashing game", whereby YAs from Dunman High have to compete with YAs from YABC to see which team is able to splash more water on the other team. Afterwards, we rafted up and the instructors decided to make us stand on our kayaks and make some YAs swap their kayaks. Through this activity, we learnt the importance of trust. Without trust, we won't be able to stand on the kayak, let alone swap kayaks. Through this kayaking activity, we got to know the other YAs better and everyone got a nice tan ;).


After kayaking, we headed to HQ for the YA car washing initiative. The aim of this initiative is to raise funds, so that GGS would be able to sponsor coupons, for our GGS carnival later this year,for underprivileged children. For some of us, it is our first time washing a car and it was not as easy as it seems.

Wiping the car shiny ;)

But nonetheless, it was rewarding to see shiny cars at the HQ carpark at the end of the day. Similarly, we got more bonding time with the YAs from other chapters :)
