Last friday after recce, we were feel honoured to be visit by our very first Bruneian women who will going to South Pole on the next November later. We were glad that she can spend time with us to tell her story eventhough we know she quit hard to find a time due to her busy schedule.
After we see a mini video about their expidition, Era then stood up introducing herself.
She started by introducing her team. There were eight women in her team led by Felicia Aston . They were from different countries like Ghana, Cyprus, Singapore, United Kingdom, India, Jamaica and New Zealand.Then she continue with everything that she need to talk to like their food, clothing, how they training in Norway and New Zealand to suit the temperature in the southpole later.
After that, question and answer session held. one of my friend asked her why she do this kind a extreme thing? Era then answer it was because she want to try to step out from the comfort zone. which is Brunei is very lucky in everything like example education fee is free, oil is subsidise and government hospital is free from paying. Moreover she wanted to show that Brunei is capable to do this dangerous expedition and Bruneian youngsters is to be brave to take any challenge and adventure.
What i have learned from this talks was that as a young Bruneian we should be proud to be a Bruneian people, Dont take any granted for what have given to us, Willing to take challenges like what Era has do and try to make our Brunei proud
