Karen’s parents program and this program
actually is like how parents share the
love share a concern by using a little
bit of that time influencing each other
make a big difference and a better place
for a primary school student for those
who have no idea on this program please
stay with me for the next few minutes
you will feel how amazing and how
interesting on this program well take a
look on this picture this was taken from
oming newspapers September 2016 it’s a
sad story
just one minute before that the poise to
happily go down from the car hold the
mom hand kissed the mum hand and say
goodbye cross the road by himself just
feel step from the school min and just
boom hit by the car lost his breath on
the spot the mother explained the whole
scene she’s crying she’s stolen she sees
don’t know what to do but everything was
just too late for her actually this
accident can be prevented if the mother
packed the car properly hold the boy’s
hand cross the road with him and lick
him until the main entrance so in this
case as we always say childrens is still
children’s no matter how many times we
ask them hey look on left and right
before you cross the road it’s dangerous
it’s dangerous but we think don’t know
what you’re just thinking about when
they want to cross the road right so in
this case again
rest in peace boy so I want to ask the
questions to make a comparison in this
more town conga how many of us realized
that how parents sent a
to screw back to those days I mean those
days back to 50 60 or 70s for the young
audience here let me share with you back
to those days usually if parents who
stay near to the school they were asked
the children to walk to school or you
have done if they have bicycle do ask
them to ride a bicycle right but for
those who stay far a little bit from the
school usually they will write the model
by and send them or else take the school
bus but that is rarely and hardly you
can see a private car on the road back
to those days but today today as we know
a lot of private vehicles on the road
now and there’s no way that parents
don’t matter state near or far they were
there was at the children’s primary
school student someone walk to school by
themself Oh take the bicycle test don’t
wait that’s too risky so of course be
too so I send my children to school
every day so I have a habit test I like
to put a little bit far from the school
main entrance so I can walk with them
and spend some time with them
so along the way while walking my
children I saw many times that accident
happens which is unexpected one and
usually what is this is like the parents
Isis on a handful more and on the wheel
so accidents happened and quarreling
happen and sometimes fighting so I think
inside it is amazing that and well let
me show you some of the accident that
actually can be prevent let’s start with
this this is a zebra crossing which is
the school painted into a rainbow color
just to motivate just to encourage the
children’s to walk from the car park
lead until the school main entrance but
as we always say zebra crossing is safe
right but what about when you look on
this some parent just to avoid the
traffic and they want to make a shortcut
on it they just drive on that zebra
crossing
so for parents who always drive like
this please aware you have putting the
children’s life into a dangerous
situations so talk about avoiding
traffic so sometimes when during raining
days usually parents with drive into the
school area and drop down the children’s
drop-off and definitely there’s heavy
traffic inside the school area so a lot
of parents will just avoid this traffic
they’d rather to park outside and ask
the children run as possible as they can
so can you imagine with that small size
this big of school back on them and
umbrella running sometimes they run they
cross directly through for a small
matter but with whole body right and
sometimes they are successfully run
inside the school campus so happily but
I tell you also wet because with the
umbrella so not to mention on how
dangerous is it first
we know it’s dangerous but can you think
on how they can paid a full
concentrations on their study well from
7:30 to 1:45 with the body or wet wet
uniform on them so I think parents
should be aware on these two and after
few of this incident accidents we get a
few parents and we try to reflect these
things to the school authority master p
ib g and very kindly the teachers Parent
Association they set up a meeting for us
to solve this problem and certainly to
say that we only have few parents attend
on that meeting so with a simple
solution and permission from the school
we decide to do it by our own by taking
over and take care for the traffic every
day and this is some of our daily basis
duty which is usually we take around 10
to 15 minutes during the
it’s our early morning and during the
afternoon and this is the sometimes we
stop the car and let the children pass
by and this is what the caring parent do
when in the carrying the umbrella for
the children when during the raining
times so the school colors a caring
parent and what is caring parents about
caring parent basically is sharing the
love of our children’s to all children’s
in the school treat them fairly like
what we love our children’s at home let
them learn and growth under the roof
with full of caring and loving
environment so when we do this new for
the school something that new a lot of
parents do don’t know what we are doing
what is this program about and they
cause a crazy parent instead of caring
parents but that’s okay that’s fine
because as we know in this more town
what usually parents to after putting
down their children they go to work or
else they go to have the sweet breakfast
and all of sudden your friends stand
there and stop you with this one with a
body with the suit and taking care of
the traffic so it’s fine it’s okay if
you want to join one of this program
please it’s okay
as long as we don’t what we do is right
what is our major concern for children
is their safety and slowly people start
to understand and people start to know
what we do and people start to
appreciate on what we do to the children
slowly people start to join us from few
of us and grow keep on more people and
more until today is route 30 of us it’s
quite encouraging
and there’s two also us us too to pay
the visa for the best Karen’s parents
school in a la style which is in catwalk
high school this is the picture where we
take together with them
so stay with me because the rest of my
speech will reflect on what we learned
from our high school
caring parent team so after coming back
from the karate school we started this
we start to divide our team into a few
groups so that we can help in various of
expect as we know today every primary
school students school back is not less
than ten alone so we have this idea by
helping the children’s to carry their
back up to the higher floors ground
floor first floor second floor and this
is what the Karen’s parents on duty we
passed one by one helping the children’s
but we know that is not a long-term
remedy if keep on how big the children’s
to carry the web as we know also because
caring parents only come to help when
they are free when there’s not free they
are not they are not under duty the
students will still have to carry the
heavy bags right so to solve this
problem we come up with the better
solutions which is providing every class
right this is in white color we place it
behind every classroom and you can see
the students is placing their belongings
belongings and they are disciplinary
arrange their stuff only bring what
necessary back home so this problem can
be soft easily and as I say children is
still a children’s right because some of
them is always forget to bring back the
homework when they have rec on it so
some is doing on purposely not to bring
back the homework just to avoid doing
the homework so we after we we found out
of this then we have a good
communication among the teachers
students and parents so after this the
leftover homework become lesser
and lesser so now some of you may ask
who paid for the wreck is it a
sponsorship yes well it is a sponsorship
we managed to get 27 lockers in 12 hours
after we pushed it put this idea into a
school parents WeChat group that’s
amazing and the most amazing on this
program is someone with the idea sharing
their idea someone with the time to
sharing their time and someone with the
financial support they can support us in
the way of financial so we mixed up all
this together the children get the rest
and the children get the pass in 2000 or
5 D booty
Education Minister office launched the
caring school program and we have used
some of it as our vision so basically we
take 3 as our main practice educate true
environment is the first one take a look
on this beautiful place this is not a
tourism area somewhere in Malacca Penang
or a Porno this is the campus of connect
primary school in police amazing yeah
and not to forget we also have snow
white so and this is where we gather up
the teachers and parents who good who
talented so that they can build good
campus and good environment for the
children and this is what before and
after and this is what before and after
2 takes take a look on this the water
tank yeah actually this is safe up the
rainwater to use back to the fish pond
and the garden so that you can save up
some of the water bills and we believe
that a clean quiet and good environment
really can be a major influence in child
growth and secondly true
culture culture is where we realize who
we are what should we do and what we
should not forget so not to forget that
we also organize Chinese New Year events
moon cake festivals celebrations and not
to forget that mention that’s two years
ago we set up a fire camp for every
graduate primary six student to gather
up them together before they leave for
school to train them to be more
independent and gather up with their
friends before they leave for higher
education and totally educate true
service we believe that as a parents we
should set a good model for the children
so that they can be a better person
also not to forget that what we gain and
what we learn today we should give back
to the community so we also participate
in the school quarter know your
activities we set up a fire train
practice so that the children know what
should do when they caught in the fire
situations and thanks to one of our
caring parents we invite this great
artist come back to do one of the mural
in theme for the school with a title of
a half a dreams this is quite inspiring
and this also become a famous photo spot
for the graduate student so as we always
say children are our future so let’s
take a step together to make a better
place for a children’s so if one thing
that I want you to bring back home today
is I want to urge all the parents here
of future parents to be to join this
program or if not try to create one even
though you only starting with few of us
just like what we did back to a few
years ago so I want to end this with one
coat which is carrying a responsibility
is a burden but role playing is fun when
you have fun on what you’re doing you
don’t feel the responsibility you won’t
feel that it’s about
when you have fun on what you’re doing
your creativity is limitless when you
have fun or what you’re doing please and
join it with the children’s thank you
very much for your time [Applause]
