Skating Beyond Borders is an annual event organized by SMUX Skating Team. This year’s event started on 06 December 09 and lasted for 11 days till 16 December 09. It consisted of an Overseas Community Service Project to Batam and a weekend getaway for the participants in Batam. There were 22 volunteers in total and 4 who joined us during the weekend for recreational activities.
We were attached to a school (Taman Belajar Gembala Baik) through our beneficiary, Yayasan Citramas. The two main objectives of Skating Beyond Borders are to educate the children and improve their study environment. The children, aged 4-6 years, are taught English, Mathematics and Art & Craft. The volunteers also painted the school and cleaned up its surroundings.
Here are some pictures of our volunteers teaching and interacting with the children:

Skating Beyond Borders has achieved its objectives successfully and this is in no part thanks to the help from Yayasan Citramas, the support and guidance from OCS and all the hard work put into this event from the organizing committee and volunteers.
