UTAR Early Childhood Students spread love through education and fundraising

23 July 2016, UTAR Early Childhood Students volunteered in MY Reading Program

It's all begin with an intention to complete an assignment, a group of 6 first year students from University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR)'s Early Childhood Faculty, giving their best in planning early childhood activities for children in the MY Reading Program and as well a series of fundraising activities, eventually raised about RM 6,000.00 for HOPE worldwide Malaysia. Not only that, part of the funding was utilized in purchasing groceries that benefit 20 low income families.

Last Saturday, this group of campus students became Teachers of the Day, spent a memorable afternoon with the children aged 6 to 9 years old in MY Reading Program, organizing a few activities which include story telling, fitness dancing and games. One of the sessions, the kids got to make their own storybooks. The volunteers also prepared goodies bags and snacks to encourage the children.

We would like to express our gratitude all the fellow campus student in your passion in this outreach program. We hope to work with you all again in the future!
