Outing To Zoo Melaka

On 15 Nov, Pastor Rebekah, sis Bee Lan, bro Johnson, bro Dinesh and I were bringing 20 children from the Children Ministry to Zoo Melaka. We left with two vans from the church.

As soon as we reached our destination, we headed towards the amphitheatre where a multi-animal show had just started.

We were entertained by orang utans and macaws with their antics.

After the first activity, we continued to observe birds and land animals. The children were given a piece of paper to write down the scientific and common names of the creatures they saw.

The next scheduled programme was the elephant show. We all enjoyed watching those gentle giants' performance.

After almost two hours' walking, we took a break at the lake where each of us was given a Mac Donald's lunch box and a toy of the "Madagascar" animation movie characters. When we regained our energy, bro Johnson, playing guitar, led us to worship God who is the Creator and King of the entire mankind and animals.

Our last visit was in the museum.

Animals were either presented in sculptures or specimens.

There were also two living statues newly added to the collection.

Before we left the zoo, Ps Rebekah gave a short speech to all the participants and awarded presents to those who had written down the longest list of the names of animals.

That ended our short but memorable outing.
