Growing up and living with technology, our children today hardly got the chance to surround themselves with nature. This does not only disconnect them from mother earth, but also limits imagination and mental growth. The natural surroundings help in children’s learning and development, physical and mentally, thus it is extremely important for them to reconnect with floras and faunas.
With that, the ‘Kids 4 Kids’ (K4K) Civic Club of Lembah Pantai got their hands dirty while learning last Sunday. The children aged 7 to 12 of various PPR communities in that area gathered at Kebun-Kebun Kerinchi, for an urban farming activity along with Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai, YB Fahmi Fadzil. Kebun-Kebun Kerinchi is the second project of Ng Seksan, a landscape architect who’s the mastermind behind lush ‘Sekeping’ nature retreats around Malaysia. Under a meaningful theme: Nature and Cleanliness, 37 children from K4K Civic Club have participated in this activity together with their parents at the farm located right opposite Pantai Eco Park.

On Saturday, 12th of January 2019 our PK participants learned about online businesses. The morning started with a session on how to promote your products for free, led by Grub Cycle.
Grub Cycle is a Social Enterprise aiming to place the lost value back onto food as something that should be eaten and not thrown away. Through Grub Cycle, the team is raising awareness of food waste by making surplus food accessible to buy at a bargain price.
The afternoon session focused on the benefits of bringing your business to an online platform and was led by MyBazaar who also gave our participants access to their platform. Since the launch of its Malaysian operations, MyBazar has quickly established itself as the leading digital platform for local merchants and small entrepreneurs in Malaysia, blending a unique mix of capacity development, social shopping and e-commerce.
Simultaneously, the Program Kembara Kanak-Kanak (PKKK) class had an incredible turn out involving 29 children. Various activities were carried out to instil a sense of responsibilities and team building habit amongst the children. They returned home with plenty of goodies and new knowledge.
Taylor’s Community hopes that the programmes has taught and impacted the participants in more ways than expected. We hope that they are able to overcome their challenges in life in order to have a better future.
