A team of 23 students (out of which 21 are SEG students from various diplomas and different years) together with 2 SEG staffs Eugene Tham and Sim Shyuan Jing have completed a great adventure and learning experience at Siem Reap, Cambodia from 22nd March 2011 – 31st March 2011.
For this trip, Republic Polytechnic & Renew Powers Technologies collaborated to produce wonderful Solar panels to the school in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The 10-day trip was an achievement to complete the solar panels.
They surveyed the site where the health post was built and to place the panels on the roof of the health post.
The team visited Ballangk Community School to teach the kids with the solar panel kits to equip them with basic knowledge of the usage of solar panels. Not only teaching on how to use the panels but also teaching them Basic English.
Commented by the school Teacher, “I was really grateful that Republic Polytechnic came to my school and does practical lessons and also organising games for them. This is the first time that Republic Polytechnic conducting and organising lessons and games!”
