“One important thing I’ve learnt through WOW Kampung is gratitude. Seldom do people say thank you to those who help them, especially on a daily basis. It is taken for granted. After doing it countless times, I smile and say hi/thank you to complete strangers naturally, something impossible before this.”

“The JOE Programme offers a session that allows learners of all tendencies to participate. The slide show was interesting, and the main facilitator was good in engaging the children in his presentation. With the help of the assistant facilitators, the children got the attention they needed as the team complements one another. In terms of hands-on activities, my team can see that the facilitator has included something so meaningful to the children that it jolts their thought process so they may rationalise the importance of rejecting plastic bags so they can save the planet.”

Don’t Mess With JOE 2018

“The most valuable thing I experienced through this programme is where I am at in terms of wellbeing. I was able to totally relax and connect with nature and with people to share about similar issues we face in our journey as a teacher. Trekking of the mountain while holding the rope and closing my eyes helped me to understand team spirit, trust in each other even though we started as strangers, and that we all have a great individual responsibility to lead this journey further towards everyone’s wellbeing. I wish there was more time allocation, I don’t want to go home.”

“What stood out in this programme was how it helped in my self-discovery and the importance of scaffolding, and also honing one’s ability will help you to be a successful leader. However, it is important to give empowerment of authority and independence to adults and young with directions. The most valuable thing I discover is that nothing is impossible, there’s only possibilities in many impossibilities. It’s the attitude, creativity, perseverance that counts.”

Kampung Retreat 2016

“WOW Kampung has helped me to understand how important the environment outside of school is. Children appreciate it better after the programme and want to walk on the grass and they observe things better. Teachers do not need to keep pointing out the things we see. Now, they are able to identify and point the things out on their own.”
