Our teachers and students kicked off their OVIA journey officially at the parent engagement session last night!
Our troop engaged and wow 'ed their parents with the flashy dance moves and showcasing the activities which they will be doing with the children in Vietnam.
By the excited look on their faces and the enthusiasm with which they conducted themselves, our troop are really looking foward to this 6D5N learning journey!
Day 1 - SG to VN!
Today marks our first day of OVIA Vietnam 2026!
Our Crestians had a wonderful time touring the airport and making their way to Ho Chi Minh City. It was also a day of many firsts.
First time trying vietnamese food. First time getting stuck in an endless traffic jam. First time shopping in a supermarket using money that has tens of thousands in denominations! First time getting up close and personal with swans too!
Stay tuned as we engage the local kids in activities tomorrow!
Day 2 - Mission School & Cu Chi Tunnels
Today our Crestians visited the mission school and got the chance to conduct the activities that they have been planning for with the local vietnamese kids.
What scared at first, our Crestians quickly warmed up and made good friends with the locals, exchanging names and friendly gestures. The children enjoyed all the activities and were all smiles and waving goodbye enthusiastically as we departed the school.
After lunch, we visited the Cu Chi Tunnels were we learnt about the special network of tunnels that were built during the Vietnam War. Crestians also bravely tried the 100 metre tunnel crawl to experience what it was like living and moving through the tunnels!
