Service Trip to Uganda

Last summer, ten S3-S5 students embarked on a transformative 14-day service tour in Uganda, East Africa, organized by the Interact Club and Watoto Asia.  This enriching experience not only broadened their global perspectives but also deepened their empathy and nurtured a lasting spirit of service.  Each moment spent in Uganda left an indelible mark on their hearts, inspiring them to make a positive impact in the world.

During the tour, the students visited slums, where they had the opportunity to meet and support families in need.  They also visited a childcare centre, Watoto Neighbourhood Centre, and a primary and secondary school, organized engaging and educational activities for the students.

One of the most remarkable experiences of the tour was their involvement in rebuilding a house that had collapsed due to heavy rains.  With compassionate hearts, the students also generously donated towards the reconstruction efforts.  This experience was profoundly empowering, creating tangible change and inspiring hope for the local community.  At the same time, it allowed the students to uncover a new spectrum of abilities within themselves, deepening their understanding of resilience and the impact of their actions.

Throughout their journey, the students witnessed God's grace as they saw the sufficient resources and support provided to the families in need.  This first hand encounter underscored the significance of gratitude, revealing that even amid hardship, there are blessings to be counted.  These lessons in gratitude and compassion will undoubtedly inspire them to serve their own communities in the future.

Serving others is a core value of our school, and we aspire to nurture this in the hearts and minds of our students.  We hope our students will continue to serve and contribute to society, echoing our school’s spirit – to serve and not to be served.
