This group of 22 students was led by Nor Izzati Ahmad Nazari as their project manager.

They had invited 20 orphans from Teratak Nur Barakah. According to Farhani Baharuddin, one of the committee members, the objective of this program is to expose children to reading from the other perspective through various fun activities such as “Explorace”, storytelling competition, coloring contest and crossword puzzle. Originally, the target audience ranged from age 5 to 12 because the content of the programs suits the children’s range of age.


The program started at 9 a.m. and ended at 12 p.m. They had the opening and the closing ceremony at the end of the program that was done by a representative from PPAS.
