Kids’ World is an annual camp that provides underprivileged children the opportunity to learn valuable skills, make new friends and just have fun. At the same time, the event aims to give students who are new to volunteering the chance to immerse themselves fully into the volunteer experience as they spend three days paired up 1-to-1 with the young campers.
Kids’ World 2014 saw 100 children on a wild adventure learning about endangered animals and how to save the planet.’ Panda Superhero’ was adopted ad the Camp theme and the importance of being Green was shared through activities that introduced the benefits of reducing, reusing and recycling.
It was nerve-wrecking to plan and execute this event as kids today are a tad different from those born in the 90s. But I learnt to look at things from a different angle.
