We did aerobic exercise at the nearby playground. Those children were energetic. During scientific experiments session, we showed the magical starch solution, oxidation of apple, parachute, and so on. Some of them were clever to answer our questions but some were not due to the small age. However, they were willing to learn.We were satisfied and glad to see that. We had fun with them during station games. I noticed that boys were more creative and energetic than girls. Thus, it was hard to control boys as compared to girls. After that, we shared our feeling each other during the sharing session. We felt surprised as the feedback was good. We appreciated the bonding time with them. During closing ceremony, we gave them some gifts and souvenirs. They felt very happy. We hoped that they will continue to learn science with the passion they have. I wished them always health and braved to pursue their dreams.

Reflection

After carried out this programme, i felt that everyone has the right to accept the education regardless what level you stand in the society. We should respect others who have the enthusiasm in learning. We should appreciate what we have now and improve ourselves with different skills. Thus, we can contribute more to the society as well as our country. Education and investment on children are important because they are the future pillars of tomorrow. We should always visit the place like orphanage and the old folk home so that we will always remember that we are the luckiest one and put in our full effort on what we pursue for.
