12. TESTIMONIALS FROM YMCA KL
Volunteer English Speaking Instructor for SCC
YMCA KL Member, Senior Citizens’ Club (SCC) Member
“After my retirement , I joined YMCA and served in the Senior Citizen Club for 28 years. I provide
free basic English conversation class to senior members . This class is conducted with the intention
to assist the senior members to converse with their children and grandchildren who are mostly
English educated”.
Majority of our Senior Members are also Chinese Educated. I am also very interested in Chinese
Calligraphy and teach Calligraphy class at home. I don’t think there is any other Association which
charges less than RM100.00 a year and would able to provide quality activities. I will treasure the
time and friends I have met here for the rest of my life. ”
