MIRI: Badminton brought a group of Curtin Malaysia students and staff together with orphaned children at the Miri Methodist Children’s Home here recently.
The visit was a collaboration between its Department of Arts and Commerce of the School of Pre-U and Continuing Education (SPACE) and Champion Center PLT, a local proprietor of badminton courts and pro shop,.
The visit was made more memorable with meaningful interactions through various activities, including a friendly game of badminton.
Champion Center PLT donated movable badminton posts, racquets and shuttlecocks to the children, providing them with opportunities for regular recreational activities and physical exercise.
“We had a truly enriching and rewarding time at the Miri Methodist Children’s Home,” said Michelle Phua who heads the department.
“Witnessing the smiles on the children’s faces and listening to them talk about their dreams for the future reaffirmed the importance of community engagement and compassion for the less fortunate.”
Phua added that the visit exemplified their shared commitment to holistic education, social responsibility, and making a positive impact on the lives of others.
The Miri Methodist Children’s Home has been a beacon of hope and care for orphaned children in Miri and surrounding areas since 2004.
