The aura in the bus was brimming with excitement and longing to reach camp! As soon as we arrived, we jumped out of the bus, collected our bags, and walked toward our room. The rest of the day was leisure time to make friends, explore and take power naps.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left\">The next day, we went to a school called Kale Primary to paint a classroom. We noticed that students do not have a good learning space. We also brought some sports equipment from our school and distributed them as donations after painting the classroom. The students were energetic. WE HAD A BLAST!<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-image-gallery image-gallery content-section\"\n        >\n    <div class=\"container container--medium\">\n        <div class=\"image-gallery__grid\">\n                            <div class=\"image will-animate fadeInUp\"\n                     data-behaviour=\"animate-when-visible\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"img_1871\"\n     class=\"attachment-rectangle-4-by-3-small size-rectangle-4-by-3-small\"\n     src=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1871-400x300.jpeg\"\n                    srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1871-100x100.jpeg 360w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1871-200x150.jpeg 768w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1871-400x300.jpeg 1440w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1871-800x600.jpeg 2000w\"\n        \/>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"image will-animate fadeInUp\"\n                     data-behaviour=\"animate-when-visible\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"thumbnail_img_1868\"\n     class=\"attachment-rectangle-4-by-3-small size-rectangle-4-by-3-small\"\n     src=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1868-400x300.jpg\"\n                    srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1868-100x100.jpg 360w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1868-200x150.jpg 768w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1868-400x300.jpg 1440w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1868-800x600.jpg 2000w\"\n        \/>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"image will-animate fadeInUp\"\n                     data-behaviour=\"animate-when-visible\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n     class=\"attachment-rectangle-4-by-3-small size-rectangle-4-by-3-small\"\n     src=\"\"\n                    srcset=\" 360w,\n                     768w,\n                     1440w,\n                     2000w\"\n        \/>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-block content-block content-section \"\n        >\n    <div class=\"container user-content container--small\">\n        <p style=\"text-align: left\">The day after, we went to deworm goats. Can you believe it?! Our job was to wrestle goats and orally inject the deworming medicine. I have got to say it was one heck of an adventure! The people there showed us a tutorial on how we should carefully deworm and number the goats. Once that finished, off we went! We wrestled and dewormed 146 goats! Now that&#8217;s what I call an achievement!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">On the fourth day was where we had a ton of walking. We went hiking up a mountain. It was a challenge to climb. We had to muster up lots of energy to complete the hike. We reached the top and glanced at the scenic view. A view as beautiful as this made our efforts worth it!<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-image-gallery image-gallery content-section\"\n        >\n    <div class=\"container container--medium\">\n        <div class=\"image-gallery__grid\">\n                            <div class=\"image will-animate fadeInUp\"\n                     data-behaviour=\"animate-when-visible\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"thumbnail_img_1878\"\n     class=\"attachment-rectangle-4-by-3-small size-rectangle-4-by-3-small\"\n     src=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1878-400x300.jpg\"\n                    srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1878-100x100.jpg 360w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1878-200x150.jpg 768w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1878-400x300.jpg 1440w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/thumbnail_IMG_1878-800x600.jpg 2000w\"\n        \/>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"image will-animate fadeInUp\"\n                     data-behaviour=\"animate-when-visible\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"img_1898\"\n     class=\"attachment-rectangle-4-by-3-small size-rectangle-4-by-3-small\"\n     src=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1898-400x300.jpeg\"\n                    srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1898-100x100.jpeg 360w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1898-200x150.jpeg 768w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1898-400x300.jpeg 1440w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1898-800x600.jpeg 2000w\"\n        \/>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-block content-block content-section \"\n        >\n    <div class=\"container user-content container--small\">\n        <p style=\"text-align: left\">The rest of the time was leisure, where we had lots of fun joking around and talking to students from other schools!
