Giving Every Child a Chance to Life 给每一位孩童得着生命的机会!
Grace Training Centre (“GTC”) is an initiative of Calvary Love Foundation,committed to providing education to stateless children. It is located at 3 shoplots in Apas Mile 5, Pekan Kinabutan.
Founded in 2010, GTC has impacted the lives of more than 500 children over the past years. We now have approximately 300 children between the age of 5 to 16 enrolled with us each year. The classes are divided into morning and afternoon sessions to cater to our students.
In 2016, GTC was granted the first ever license of its kind by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia to run the centre for the undocumented children. The Ministry proposed that the centre be named Pusat Bimbingan Alternatif Grace.
Now, the centre has a library, a computer lab, an office, staff room, a student lounge and 6 classrooms. Apart from basic language skills, maths and science, students at GTC also attend art, music and computer lessons. Our education programme for older students includes electrical works and cooking classes. We also train our students in character building.
It is only through education where lives of these undocumented children and their families can be transformed. We can all play a role in bringing progress and change to our world, by giving every child a chance to life!
Every year, periodic free medical checkups and school talks on various topics like Anti-Drug, Anti-Gambling and Fire Prevention are organised for these undocumented students in collaboration with other NGO’s and the authorities.
恩典训练中心(GTC)是加略山爱的基金的一个项目,致力于为无国籍孩童提供教育。学校位于亚伯士路5英里Kinabutan镇的3家商店。
恩典训练中心成立于2010年,在过去几年影响了超过500名孩童的生活。我们现在大约有300名的孩童,年龄在5岁到16岁之间。学校课程分为上下午班。
2016年,恩典训练中心获得了马来西亚教育部首次颁发这类型教育的准证,让这管理无国籍孩童的中心能运作。教育部提议把学校命名为 "Pusat Bimbingan Alternatif Grace"。
现今这所中心设有图书馆、电脑室、办公室、员工宿舍、学生休息室以及6间课室。除了一般的语言技能、数学和科学,学生也会出息美术、音乐和电脑的课程。我们提供给年纪较长的学生的教育课程包括有电子技能和烹饪课。我们也训练我们的学生建立品格。
只有透过教育,这些无国籍的孩童和其家庭才能得到转变。我们可以扮演带来进步的角色,借着给每个孩童有生命的机会来改变我们的世界。
每一年,这些无国籍的孩童都会定期接受免费的医疗检查,并且与其他非政府组织和有关部门给学生举办反毒、反赌和防火意识等讲座。
