On the 13 and 14 July we had 15 students and 3 teachers from Singapore Peicai Secondary School to visit our center.
They came as part of the school program to help their students be exposed to life outside their country and to do their part to help the less fortunate children.
On the first day we brought the students to tour the kampong and visit one family just to let them see the conditions of those who come to our learning center. They also brought some groceries to be given to the family.
Thereafter, they arrived at the center to a group of waiting kids. We sang our theme song, “Smile, smile, smile” for this is what the center is all about. English is our medium of instruction. The Singapore youth then entertained and taught the kids tricks like spinning the wheel, balancing the plate on pole, ball juggling and sculpturing balloons. It was an ice breaker as the kids got to open up to the Singapore youth and enjoy their presence.
On the second day, they taught computer skills on how to do power point presentation. An added blessing to their coming was the donation of 4 good used pcs, complete with tables by travel agency, “Take me to Asia“. How thrill the kids were to have a total 11 pcs to use. Now they have lesser waiting time to use the pcs because we 20 to 30 kids in the queue to use the pcs.
The following day I noticed the kids on the pcs doing their lesson and putting into practice the lesson taught the previous day.
Even though our center provides regular English and computer classes, we appreciate the extra help the Singapore youth gave to help and encourage the kids to learn .
