We are proud to share that every moment of our Summer 8.0. The five-week journey was packed with meaningful experiences—coding workshops, leadership sessions, entrepreneurial skill acquisition, and even a furniture up-cycling class! August was a month filled with excitement, laughter, and remarkable growth for the children in our Summer 8.0 program.
We Nurtured 360° Growth for 1,000+ Young Minds
From the very first day, the energy was palpable as over 600 eager children joined us for a summer of learning, fun, and personal development. By the end of the second week, that number had swelled to over 1,000 participants, all enthusiastically engaging in a variety of enriching activities. These ranged from coding workshops to career mentoring sessions, all while enjoying free meals.
Our life-skills sessions, including a special talk on Emotional Intelligence and Leadership, reminded the children that they are "the solution the world needs." These activities fostered both personal and communal growth, reinforcing that the lessons learned this summer will benefit them for years to come.
Week 3 of our Summer programme showcased the incredible progress our children have made, both in their skills and personal growth. Just take a look at what they’ve been creating!
From academic lessons to life-changing hands-on projects, the children not only gained knowledge but also formed lasting friendships, boosting their confidence and creativity. Summer 8.0 truly lived up to its promise of being an enriching experience for all, as we saw our young participants grow into more capable, curious, and resilient individuals.
Their newly acquired skills, paired with their academic work, showcased their development in ways we had never imagined. Coding classes, led by expert trainers, sharpened their problem-solving abilities, while entrepreneurial sessions unlocked their creative potential. The children didn't just learn to code; they learned to think critically, create videos, and design solutions—building their confidence along the way.
As we wrapped up Week Four, the children celebrated their achievements with awards, gifts, and, most importantly, the pride of knowing they had accomplished something remarkable. It was a beautiful culmination of hard work, dedication, and the power of community support.

Looking to the Future
As we conclude Summer 8.0, we reflect on how much we have accomplished together. The experiences, memories, and friendships formed this summer will stay with the children long after the program ends.
