Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Written by Ms. Evi

Sinarmas World Academy (SWA) opened its doors to 19 bright-eyed children from a local orphanage for a morning filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful connection. The day kicked off at 9:00 AM with high-energy icebreakers and warm welcomes that immediately made our young guests feel right at home. Five SWA student volunteers then led the group through hilarious rounds of "Simon Says" and talent relays, successfully building a wonderful sense of camaraderie and confidence. Laughter echoed across the campus as the children enjoyed some well-deserved "Playground Time", letting their spirits run free in the fresh air. For the main event, the children donned aprons for a hands-on cooking class where they learnt the life skill of preparing delicious veggie fried noodles with shrimps and meatballs. The enticing aroma of their culinary creations filled the room as everyone gathered to share a meal and swap stories about their favourite parts of the day. The heartwarming event wrapped up with a festive group photo and the distribution of goody bags, leaving every child with a radiant smile. This beautiful collaboration proved that a few hours of shared play and learning can create a lasting impact on the hearts of both the visitors and the SWA community.
