Field Day 9 (Zoo Negara)
And then went to the kitchen to gather the fruit lollipops for the bears.
The Bears' Zookeeper, Hamdan, was very helpful in explaining the secret hide-outs that the girls could use to 'confuse' the bears...
We cleaned the tiger's enclosure before placing the chicken meat.
One of the tigers spotted the chicken almost immediately...

Field Day 8 at Zoo Negara!
Then, after watching the bears eat the lollipops and the lemangs, the girls had a wonderful opportunity to feed the bears fresh (um, dead but fresh) fish! One of the trainers helped demonstrate how to cue the bear before pitching the fish. Then the girls had a go. The bears sure enjoyed the fish! :)

Field Day 7
It's Field Day 7 and the focus was on discovering and building upon one's positive values, and on reaching out to help others.




All of us then got to see for ourselves how much we have helped and how much we've been helped in our lives. We got to think about how it felt to be helped by others.
It's Banana Dance time!!! The mentors did a quick demo of this cool dance, and then the girls had loads of fun 'going bananas!' More importantly, we got to think about how we can help others, and the values expressed.


Mentees discussed about whom in their families they would like to help and how they would like to help them. They then wrote their ideas down in a coupon, whereby the receiver can 'redeem' the favor whenever they need it.

Mentees got to reach back into their memories on people they have helped recently, and people who have helped them recently. They then traced their hands and cut them out. Then, once cut, they hung them so that they could see their peers' work, too.
