On the 23rd of May, a few Huluran Kasih members – Kent Yap (batch 20), Catherine, Yon Li, Kala, Jun Loong from batch 22 went on a visit to the Sri Krishna Bala Niketan Rehabilitation Centre. It was a short visit to find out their level of English so that we can plan more trips there to teach them.
We embarked the journey at 2.00pm together with some light snacks and drinks for the kids. Unfortunately, when we reached there, we found out that most of the children went back for summer holidays and they will only be coming back on the 27th of May. Hence, we had the opportunity to teach the remaining children there with one to one attention. We taught the younger kids about alphabets while for the elder ones, we taught them how to speak English. The kids were rather attentive and it gave us a satisfaction of teaching. Besides that, they were all very cooperative as well.
The whole visit ended at 4.00pm. It was a rather pleasant trip and we plan to be back with more volunteers. Hopefully, by next Saturday, there will be more volunteers coming along with us to teach them English. The caretaker there told us that he will be anticipating our next visit!
