Yes Travel Brings Learning Beyond the Classroom to Underprivileged Students 

Yes Travel and Dignity representatives with participating students during the CSR programme at Farm In The City.

Yes Travel & Holidays Sdn. Bhd. ("Yes Travel") brought learning beyond the classroom to 95 students from Dignity for Children Foundation (“Dignity”) through an educational visit to Farm In The City, Seri Kembangan, reaffirming its commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for children from underserved communities.

Educational excursions offer children valuable opportunities to experience hands-on learning, discover new environments and develop curiosity beyond the classroom. However, for many children from underserved backgrounds, such experiences remain out of reach due to financial constraints. Recognising the importance of equal access to experiential learning, Yes Travel partnered with Dignity, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to providing quality education and holistic care to urban poor children in Kuala Lumpur, to create a memorable day where learning came alive beyond textbooks and classrooms.

Angela Mak, Managing Director of Yes Travel & Holidays Sdn. Bhd. said, "We know we cannot change every child's circumstances overnight, but we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, explore and discover something new. If today has brought smiles, sparked curiosity or inspired even one child to dream a little bigger, then we've achieved something truly meaningful. We hope this experience reminds these children that there is a bigger world waiting to be explored, and that they will continue believing in themselves and the opportunities ahead."

Throughout the day, the students immersed themselves in a series of interactive activities at Farm In The City, where they had the opportunity to feed farm animals, observe wildlife up close and explore the park's natural surroundings. Laughter and excitement filled the park as many of the children experienced close encounters with animals for the very first time, transforming an ordinary school day into a memorable learning adventure. 

Beyond discovering nature and wildlife, the experience encouraged curiosity, built confidence and inspired the children to embrace new experiences outside their everyday routines. More importantly, it reminded them that learning can happen anywhere when they are given the opportunity to explore, ask questions and discover the world around them.

One participating student shared, "This was my first time visiting a place like this. I loved feeding the animals and learning about them with my friends. It was such a fun day, and I hope I can come back again one day."

Looking ahead, Yes Travel remains committed to creating meaningful corporate social responsibility initiatives that broaden horizons, inspire learning and make a positive difference in the communities it serves. As a company dedicated to creating memorable journeys, Yes Travel believes that while one journey may last only a day, the confidence, curiosity and memories it creates can leave a lasting impact for years to come.
