Visit to Kebun Bangsar on 24 March 2026 with children from Hiichikok Foundation sponsored by Lovns Cafe

News from Kiwanis Pantai KL

Description

The morning sun heightened as some club members , volunteers from IGB and friends stepped into Kebun Bangsar at 930am with 31 children from Hiichikok Foundation.The city noise faded into a gentle hum behind us. With children in tow, the visit quickly turned into a small adventure—one that balanced curiosity, movement, and a touch of calm that’s rare in the middle of a busy urban day.
The first thing the children noticed was the openness and the variety of plants , trees and vegetables. There was space to run, to wander, to simply be loud without the usual reminders to “keep it down.” They darted ahead along the paths with adult volunteers, stopping every few steps to point at something new—a cluster of plants, an interesting sculpture, or chasing the farm animals like turkeys , geese , and goats .

What makes a place like this special with children isn’t just what’s there, but how it invites exploration. The greenery became a kind of playground without swings or slides. Leaves turned into treasures & sticks into tools . It was unstructured in the best possible way, letting their imagination do most of the work.

At one point, we slowed things down with a snack break .Sitting together, we watched as the children shifted from high-energy running to a drawing session of what they have observed & discovered . Drawing talents from the children were drawn out as they express themselves on paper with pencil. It
was a reminder that children don’t just need entertainment; they need space to discover. Many memories with the children were captured in photos and videos . The children also received goodie bags from IGB . Our sponsor , Mr Lim from Lovns Cafe joined us at the kebun at a later time with his family

When we left the Kebun at noon , shoes were slightly dirtier and energy pleasantly spent. It was a great experience for the children and adults to connect with nature

The children were then given a treat at Lovns cafe in mid valley , specially arranged by its owner , Mr Lim.
Prizes were then given to the top 3 best drawing given by Mr Lim .



After a time of winding down over pastries and drinks , it was time to part and bid our goodbyes . It was indeed a day well spent with the children and we hope to bring them on another adventure with the support of well wishers and donors .
Kiwanis Club of Pantai KL like to thank the kind sponsorship from Mr Lim , Lovns Cafe, volunteers from IGB with the goodie bags and friends who made a difference in bringing joy to the children .

Back to Nature with Youth at Garden Spring, Cheras

Our Back to Nature with Youth activity, organised in collaboration with The Blue Ribbon (TBR), was successfully held at Garden Spring, Cheras. The programme brought together Key Club members from Tree Top International School and Aspiration International Secondary School, accompanied by their teachers. We were also pleased to welcome several non-Key Club participants, including friends and family members of our members. In total, the activity was attended by 14 youths, 4 adults, and 3 representatives from TBR. Participants were guided through five hands-on activity stations: Harvesting Blue Pea FlowersMaking Blue Valley Drinks using edible items from the gardenSoil PaintingSelecting and Mixing SoilPlanting Forest Seeds and Saplings The facilitators from TBR were knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing their expertise. They made each station interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful for the participants. The event received positive feedback and was a wonderful opportunity for youths to learn about nature, sustainability, and the importance of caring for the environment. As we continue to live in an increasingly digital world, opportunities for young people to connect with nature are becoming more important. We hope to organise more activities like this in the future, not only for our youths but also for ourselves as we continue to learn, serve, and grow together.
