Yes Travel & Holidays Sdn. Bhd. ("Yes Travel") brought
learning beyond the classroom to 95 students from Dignity for Children Foundation (“Dignity”)
through an educational visit
to Farm In The City, Seri Kembangan, reaffirming its commitment to creating
meaningful opportunities for children from underserved communities.
Educational excursions offer
children valuable opportunities to experience hands-on learning, discover new
environments and develop curiosity beyond the classroom. However, for many
children from underserved backgrounds, such experiences remain out of reach due
to financial constraints. Recognising the importance of equal access to
experiential learning, Yes Travel partnered with Dignity, a non-governmental
organisation dedicated to providing quality education and holistic care to
urban poor children in Kuala Lumpur, to create a memorable day where learning
came alive beyond textbooks and classrooms.
Angela Mak, Managing
Director of Yes Travel & Holidays Sdn. Bhd. said, "We know we cannot change
every child's circumstances overnight, but we believe every child deserves the
opportunity to learn, explore and discover something new. If today has brought
smiles, sparked curiosity or inspired even one child to dream a little bigger,
then we've achieved something truly meaningful. We hope this experience reminds
these children that there is a bigger world waiting to be explored, and that they
will continue believing in themselves and the opportunities ahead."
Throughout the day, the
students immersed themselves in a series of interactive activities at Farm In
The City, where they had the opportunity to feed farm animals, observe wildlife
up close and explore the park's natural surroundings. Laughter and excitement
filled the park as many of the children experienced close encounters with
animals for the very first time, transforming an ordinary school day into a
memorable learning adventure.
Beyond discovering nature and
wildlife, the experience encouraged curiosity, built confidence and inspired
the children to embrace new experiences outside their everyday routines. More
importantly, it reminded them that learning can happen anywhere when they are
given the opportunity to explore, ask questions and discover the world around
them.
One participating student shared, "This was my first time
visiting a place like this. I loved feeding the animals and learning about them
with my friends. It was such a fun day, and I hope I can come back again one
day."
Looking ahead, Yes Travel
remains committed to creating meaningful corporate social responsibility
initiatives that broaden horizons, inspire learning and make a positive
difference in the communities it serves. As a company dedicated to creating
memorable journeys, Yes Travel believes that while one journey may last only a
day, the confidence, curiosity and memories it creates can leave a lasting
impact for years to come.
