From these practices, the children learned new vocabularies and correct grammars and with their utmost creativity, they prepared their own speeches.

After the well preparation and guidance from the international volunteers, it is the time for the children to share their story. Every participant has given out the best of themselves and they received the warm appreciation from the crowd. The winners of story competition have received prizes to serve as the motivation and encouragement. It was a great learning experience for the children, as they learn and grow. The judges, who consist of PPKKCTM’s learning advisors and visitors, were impressed with the learning progression of these children.
