Travel for a cause 2012

Not many children would know what they want to be when they grow up. This led the Punggol South Community Centre and CTC Travel to jointly organise a trip to Kidzania Kuala for 200 under-privileged children on 20 to 21 April 2012.

Known as “Travel for a Cause” the trip to KidZania Kuala, an indoor theme park situated in Kuala Lumpur, saw many of the children travelling out of Singapore for the first time. The trip was an eye opener as it provided kids between the ages of four to twelve the opportunity to role-play in an occupation. The children got to perform "jobs" akin to the real world (as a fireman, doctor, police officer, journalist, shopkeeper, and so on). Through such an experience, they learnt and discovered more about their dream career and aspirations.
