Recently, elc international school held their annual International Understanding Day. It was a wonderful celebration of diversity and different cultures. The theme this year was the Olympics. Students went all out to dress up and represent various countries. The fun kicked off with an Olympic torch bearing parade around the sports field, and the festivities continued throughout the day with many exotic food stalls and games. The giant inflatable orbs were particularly popular! And it wasn’t all fun and games, either: in the end, the elc community managed to raise over RM50,000 for the Breast Cancer Welfare Association Malaysia.
