Singaporean Shaun Teo journeys to West Kalimantan, Indonesia to help build a school and several homes in the Living Waters Village that provides food, shelter, education and a loving familial community to about 450 children and teens.

Besides physical labour, Shaun and other volunteers play and spend time with the children and teens -- many of whom are orphaned or abandoned, or whose families are unable to care for them -- building friendships that help the 19-year-old learn "what's important in life".
