Support Malaysian kids with learning disabilities

Activities we did during the quarter include:

YAP lunch outing on 23/06/17

We brought our trainees for a lunch outing to the McDonalds’ outlet in Limbongan, Melaka. They used their learned skills to place an order and pay for their set meals. Besides, they enjoyed the time out and had a fun time with their friends and trainers.

Parents Support Group on 22/07/17

Our invited speaker to the event is Madam Lai Chai Hong who is also one of our parents from EIP. She is a trained Occupational Therapist and she shared on the topic “Introduction to Rhythmic Movements, Training and Energy Techniques for Kids with Special Needs”. It was a hands-on and interactive session where she demonstrated to our attendees on techniques and exercises they could use to help their children as they grow. Our attendees also get to practice the exercises during the session to hone their skills.

Coffee Session on 18/08/17

This event was organized by parents with a pot-bless concept where they brought food and share them with each other during dinner. It was a time where they are able to gather and meet up with parents from all other groups to fellowship over dinner, to share life stories and encourage each other in their own walk with their children as well as to share information and tips to help their children.

Centre outing on 23/08/17

This CSR event to A’ Famosa Water Theme Park at Alor Gajah, Melaka was organized by Outbound Tour Managers Association (OTMA) where they bless our students and their families to a fun-filled time at the park. It was a great bonding time between students, their families, teachers and personnel from OTMA as they played and engaged with one another in this cool and refreshing event.

Fire Drill on 28/08/17

A team of firemen from Balai Bomba Jalan Kubu, Melaka conducted a fire drill at our centre. There was a simulation where the firemen “saved” an employee trapped in a building. They also shared how we could contact them during an emergency as well as the correct method to put out fires using the fire extinguisher. Each employee was able to use the extinguisher to practice putting out the small fire during the drill.

We are running 3 programmes: Early Intervention Programme (EIP), School Age Programme (SAP) and Young Adults Programme (YAP). To-date, we have 33 students in EIP, 13 students in SAP and 7 trainees in YAP – supported by a staff of 6 EIP/SAP teachers, 3 trainers, 1 living skills consultant, 1 head coach and 1 administrator.

Thank you for your generous support throughout the years!
