Kindergarten principals and teachers participant in Start Early seminars

The second in the series of Start Early seminars was conducted with the Doha International Institute for Families Research of the Qatar Foundation. The 18 participants consisted of kindergarten principals and teachers, as well as four representatives from the Permatta Program in Malaysia.

I must start by saying that I was very hesitant to participate and be a volunteer as I have never been involved in something like this. But doing so has totally changed my thinking. It opened my eyes to see that it was fun being surrounded by children who are so enthusiastic in wanting to learn so much more of not just a language but also interacting with us, all from totally different cultures and background. Yes, I am so glad that I did volunteer, even if I have not made a great impact on their lives, they definitely left me walking out that night with a smile on my face and sweet memories that I will carry with me for a long time. Thank you Action Care for giving me this opportunity.
