HYRC Project IBS '08
Hua Yi Red Cross Youth Project IBS '08 was prominently an ascertained revelation that our unit's Red Cross cadets are forever striving for excellence, topped with sheer determination, resillience and a positive inclination towards anything possible.The 3days 2 nights camp was headstart with the readiness of an ensuing perseverance to acquire proficient knowledge on these three fields, namely 'Outdoor Activities', 'Evacuation' and 'Footdrill'. With the camp rules and expectations highlighted, the cadets were fully geared up to initiate the camp. It was furthermore a stepping stone as fellow cadets led the lessons in place of sirs and ma'ams. This enhanced their leadership skills, presentation techniques and at the same time served as a recap for all.+%28Custom%29.jpg)
During Outdoor Activities's lesson, cadets were inherently embroiled in trying their hands out on the numerous knots and lashings, not to forget applying knowledge on utilising a silva compass. Many faced difficulties as they were relatively new to this field. However, packed with throes of passion and resoluteness, they hung on and it was definitely a moment of crowning glory when they accomplished their tasks. During Evacuation lessons, cadets once again paid full attention while evacuation theory and practical were dutifully meted out. Therein, cadets paired up and ignited the stimulus. After each round of inspection, it was heartening that everybody displayed a sense of urgency and the spirit of sharing through guidance and aiding.
Though impeded with a time constraint, cadets were no let-down. Stretcher drills, cradle carry, 4-aider human stretcher...we tackled them with a firm belief that we could overcome these stumbling obstacles. Footdrill aslo withheld the dawning realisation that Huayi's cadets have irrevocably bonded as one, their drills uplifted and maintaining a unified 'bang' was also a vital need.
On the second day, our unit's cadets partook in an eventful heritage trail along with Assumption English School. We were divided into four groups, dictatedly 'Alpha' , 'Bravo' , 'Charlie' and 'Delta'. With a commergence of both units' cadets, we arrived at our destination. Guided by various clues, cadets immediately spun into action. At each designated station, we engaged in games to derive the next clue for another station. The linking game too saw the cadets through another round of union, bondings and bountless aptitudes and competence. It was really a memorable day enshroulded with glee. Finally, it was the last day of camp. Huayi's very own chairperson, Corporal Guo Yu Jun gave a camp closing speech with acknowledgements of all cadets. Anticipatedly, Lance Corporal Cheow Kwan Wai was conferred the 'Best Camper' award. As the camp officially concluded, cadets left with brilliant smiles and pragmatic revere. All of us had achieved our goals one way or another and are certainly looking forward to another bout of bonsings. Huayi Red Cross all the way! :)Writeup By: CPL Foo Chek Jun.
