2 Way Centre Reading Camp, Bukit Mertajam
A URC team of 5 from United Sweethearts Garment visited “2 Way Centre – an NGO that provide affordable services for children and adolescents with developmental, communication, learning difficulties and other related challenges” Bukit Mertajam Branch on 27 November 2013.
The purpose of the visit was to assist “2 Way Centre ” to run a one day Camp for Children with Challenges.
20 special children with age range from 3 to 17 year-old joined the one day camp. They were divided to 3 age groups. Each age group was guided by “teachers” from “2 Way Centre” and volunteers from URC to carried out activities such as Playing Games, Reading, Singing, Dancing, Coloring, Story Telling etc that help them to enhance their communication and interactive skills.
It was an eye-opening and precious experience for volunteers from URC to play and interact with the special children and realized that it was not an easy task to take care of children – especially children with challenges.
The Camp started approximately at 9.00am and ended at 3.30pm. All children, teachers and volunteers enjoyed the special moment very much and went home with smiles on their faces………
