CIP - MALDIVES!

Hello peeps just in case you wanna go for the Maldives CIP (12/03/09 Thursday - 22/03/09 Sunday), your beloved CIP reps have gotten the info on this trip.

Cost:
For Singaporeans and PR- $815 (you can use edusave to pay)
For Foreigners- $1680 (you can apply for a $200 subsidy from MOE)

Okay here are some terms and conditions you have to fulfill before you can join this CIP

YOU MUST:
1) Know how to swim
2) Survive 36-42 degrees of vitamin D from the sun for 9 days
3) Survive without your handphone cause there's no reception (you shouldnt bring any electronic devices along except for your camera)
4) Eat fish.
5) Must be committed to the meetings every Sunday before the CIP.
6) Must be physically fit (meaning have to go and see doctor for check up and fill up some form)
7) Must be willing to give up your March holidays

Travelling time to the island that we are going to is 14 hours in total (7 hours aeroplane ride + 7 hours boat ride)

Basically you are going to an island which is out of bounds to outsiders except for you guys cause you're doing CIP.

So we will go there and help out the people there. Some people might teach the kid in the schools there. There will not be any resorts for those going to stay in. So... you will stay in one of the houses that the locals stay in and we will experience how they live everyday.

You will have to wake up at 5.00am every morning.

Btw because you are under MOE you are not allowed to swim in the water.

Then there will be one night when you will entertain the locals there and another night when we will cook for all the locals there.

There will also be a soccer match between the local kids there and those going. (usually ends as 15-0)

If the weather permits you will also go for a fishing trip on the last day.

If im not wrong you will also get to visit some of the other islands (one of them is the size of a football field)

So that summarises some of the stuff you will be doing if you go for the CIP

If you are interested in going, you can go to the general office and pick up a form which you MUST hand in by next wednesday.

For more info, you can ask your CIP REPS (Daryl, Taro)
