Some of you may already know that my company trip this year is to Penang.. Lolz you must be thinking how come SGX is going to such nearby country, since historically we have been going to Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh.. But o well, ask the management.. Its an indicator that I sldnt pin too much hope on my bonus this year.. ROFL!
Anyway my dearest is coming with me this year.. =P
We are going one day earlier than the other SGX staff to help with this Corporate Social Responsibility, in short, volunteering work!! Lolz yepz you read correctly.. VOLUNTEERING WORK! *grins* Hey hey, don't you dare shake your head at me, I like to do such things okay.. My ECA is sch is Leo Club after all.. And I have visited tons of old folks home and was generally quite well-liked.. I don't built bad karma by being mean to old ppl and young kids.. *bleahz*
Anyway.. This school we are going to help in Penang is called the "Sekolah Kanak-Kanak Terencat Akal" (which translate to "Mentally Handicapped Children's School"). Mind you, they are not like the MINDS in Singapore, since it is called "Mentally Handicapped". Malaysia, being our poorer neighbour, does not provide their kids with the luxury that Singapore provide our "mentally incapable" children. The school, started in 1968, currently holds close to 90 kids ranging from age 3-18 providing them with education and training. The 90 kids comes with a range of handicap (mentally or physically), autism, low IQ (MINDS) and so on.. They do not receive specialise training and those autism kid might jus remain autistic for life.. But oh well, this is the only school around Penang that could allow the kids to remotely have some form of education..
What myself, Edward and some other SGX colleagues is going to do for them in our 1 and a half days there is to paint 3 walls of wall murals and plant some trees.. The in-charge of this program has gone there mths ago and hired a designer to re-construct some of their basic amenities. So the only thing left for us to do is paint, plant and have fun with the kids *smilez*
This is what we are suppose to paint at the big wall..
It is suppose to beautify the sch a lil and you see the dots on it? Its removable and reusable so it can be an interactive wall where the kids and teachers can use during classes for math or "under the sea, naming the fish" lesson.. *winkz*
Then the second day, we are bringin 40 mentally and physically capable kids out for a lil excursion, and the 50 or so kids who are either physicall or mentally incapable or nt toilet-train, we will have another party in school, where we have learned balloon sculpting before-hand to try to entertain.. Lolz
Hee guess the animals or things.. All done by me! =P
Yepz all simple sculpting.. I just hope I can remember all the steps and not burst any balloons and frighten the kids!! Lolz!
I know that this 1 and a half days is nt going to help much but at least I hope we can brighten the kids day just a lil.. (^-^)
Hee I can't wait..
