We always endeavour to ‘Make Learning Fun’ for everyone. That is why we are proud to have partnered with CIMA to host their Art Camp for children with special needs. Through our efforts, we too are striving to create an inclusive future where every child matters and no one is left behind. Thus, our goals and the goals of the CIMA Art Camp are perfectly aligned.”
