“Ice cream is very nice, and I get to eat ice cream,” was the most resounding feedback from Kindergarten 2 kids Andiqa and Dharani. Not only did they learn how to make ice cream, but they also get to eat it too.

Nur-ain, one of the parents, noted about the event, “It was very good. The last time, SMOU brought the kids to the Night Safari, and then now to Kidzania—so I think it’s fun and good for the kids. The volunteers interacted so well with the children.”

YSMOU volunteer Cong Rui has been helping out with SMOU for the past four years. He found the event good, where families can bond together and the kids get to pick up useful skills. “It was very enjoyable seeing the kids run around and participating in activities. I took care of 3 kids in a group of 6 throughout the event. These kids were very inquisitive. It’s quite insightful for me to see how the kids think.”

Thankful to YSMOU for making time to engage with the kids, Ms Faezah, a Deputy Centre Lead of MFS Jalan Sultan Centre said, “This event was great in the sense that the kids got the opportunity to interact with YSMOU volunteers, those whom they normally don’t see regularly. It’s a good way for them to develop their social skills, where they get to share and talk to people.”
