We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too.
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.

Charitizens gathered on this day for one special trip. We were going to bring the children of Sunbeam Place to the zoo. This is our first trip out with the children and many of us were looking forward to this.

Charitizens went over to Sunbeam place to pick up the children in the morning. From the look of their faces, we can tell that they too were excited about the trip.

When we finally reached the zoo, the children were all eager to go into the zoo to look at the animals. The children were split into 2 groups. This entry will feature one of the groups.

The children were first brought around the zoo to look at the animals.

Next up, we brought them to watch the amazing show put up by the elephants and their trainer. The elephants were well trained and coordinated and it was definitely and eye-opener to all of us. It was such a thrill to see them perform, and i think they really deserved a round of applause from all of us.

At this point, many of us were getting hungry, and so, we proceeded to have lunch. It was a Bento set kindly sponsored by Sakae Sushi, which the children really liked a lot.

Next up, we brought the children to the Rainforest Kidzworld to play in the wet playground.

Many of them really had fun playing in the cool water, running and splashing the water, and our volunteers too, joined in the fun.

Finally it was time to leave. We went to clean up and prepare to make the journey back to Sunbeam Place. Both the children and volunteers were exhausted at the end of the day, but we really enjoyed ourselves that day. For the volunteers, it was a good break from our hectic school life to do something meaningful, yet at the same time enjoyable.
