In conjunction with World Environmental Day(WED), SUMO helped organise a CSR outing to Zoo Negara for a group of children from disadvantaged background from Pusat Penyayang KSKA on 8th June 2013. The day started out with the group arriving at the Zoo at 9:00 am and was promptly greeted by the friendly staff of Zoo Negara. After ticketing was done, the children were divided into small groups of 3 to 4 with an adult accompanying each group. Educational worksheets were given to the children to complete as they walk around the zoo.
The children enjoyed themselves with the variety of animals found in the zoo and were truly entertained by the multi animal show at 11:00 am in the open air theatre. Lunch was pre-packed for the kids and their teachers. After the completion of the worksheets, the children were awarded with posters and story books by Zoo Negara for completing their worksheets brilliantly.
At 3:00 pm, the group left Zoo Negara with lots of smiles and laughter and it was wonderful to watch the amazement of the kids as they encountered animals they have never seen before. SUMO hopes these kids have gained a greater appreciation of nature and will be inspired to do their part to preserve it.
