• The day of VTO (volunteer time off program) where held at Pusat Jagaan Suria.

• We arrived there around 7.30 am. After everyone arrived, we take a group photo first. After that, the staff and teachers gave an introduction and assigned the kids into groups.

• Most of the participants were in charge of planting and laying out the sensory and herb garden. Meanwhile, we (intern helpers and Qian Hui) in charge of the game session. We set up the classroom for the game stations before the children arrived.

• The game session started with a drawing and coloring activity, following by first game which is Ping Pong Hits.

• At around 9.45am, the kids took a break to have their breakfast. We continue the second game at around 10.30am, following by dancing session and gift giving session.

• The event were dismissed after lunch at 1pm. This was a really meaningful experiences for me to interact with kids with special needs (some of them are ADHD, ASD and down syndrome). Not an easy task to communicate, play or teach them as they all have different characteristics. I really really admire how their teachers can have so much compassion and patience to teach and take good care of the kids especially they are all with special needs.
