     From February 3–28, our Grade 11 students embarked on an unforgettable journey across Southeast Asia through the ASEAN Vision Adventure (AVA)! 🌏✈️
    The adventure began in Vietnam, continued through Cambodia and Thailand, and concluded in Malaysia. Along the way, students explored rich cultures, historical landmarks, and diverse communities while strengthening friendships and learning beyond the classroom. They also had the opportunity to interact with local communities, conduct Christian fellowship, and experience the unique cultures of each place they visited.
    Throughout the journey, students were tasked to teach, perform, entertain, and play with local children—most importantly, giving them the chance to reach out and share joy with less fortunate communities.
     It was truly a month of discovery, service, growth, and memories that will last a lifetime.
