A busload of refugee students and teachers were treated to a fun and educational trip to Selangor Pewter's headquarters in Setapak. They were guided through the mini museum of artefacts and history of Selangor Pewter. They were also given a tour of the factory and witnessed firsthand how pewter products are meticulously handcrafted. Some even tried their hands at it and quickly realised it was alot harder than it looked!Finally the kids had a blast at the School of Hard Knocks (rather ironic!) where they learned how to mould their own pewter bowl. The kids were thrilled to keep the bowls and aprons as a wonderful souvenir from their day out.
After the tour the kids were personally served light snacks and refreshments by Datin Paduka Chen Mun Kuen (Director of Selangor Pewter and grandaughter of founder Yong Koon) and Grace Yong (wife of Selangor Pewter's GM). It was a perfect way to end a fun day as the kids had certainly worked up an appetitie after all their hard "knocking".
Thanks so much to Selangor Pewter for hosting the children. The trip was even mentioned in The Star papers ( http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2010/3/8/central/5806365&sec=central)
