It has been a great start of the year and our activities for the past 3 months include:

CSR by Philea Resort Melaka on 6th January 2015

A team from Philea Resort Melaka came and helped spring clean the centre before the start of the new school term. The event is also part of their Corporate Social Responsibility activities. We are grateful for their help as it enabled us to be better equipped for the new year.

Parents Support Group on 31st January 2015

Our speaker for the event was Ms Lim Su Hui, a Speech and Language Therapist from Hospital Besar Melaka. She shared on the topic “Parents, what do you want?”

It was an interactive session with parents and service providers as she highlights on issues raised and faced by parents with regards to their child’s development on speech, language and communication. It enables parents to think through during their decision making processes on whether it is ‘what they want for their child’ or it is ‘what their child needs’.

We presented thank you cards made by our students and trainees to Hotel Equatorial Melaka on 12^th February 2015 and Philea Resort Melaka on 13^th February 2015 as a token of appreciation for their help and spring cleaning services which were rendered to our centre.
