During the tour, many kids donning sportswear excitedly engrossed in activities they looked forward to, while parents watched their kids get in their comfort zone with no resistance.

According to Muflasa, 90 per cent of the programmes and facilities are now ready, and she expects all their facilities to open by 2016. The first floor of the spacious club contains various halls, a swimming pool and a cafeteria. The second floor contains more than seven units – including culture and fine arts unit, puppet theatre unit, popular mental gaming unit, studio, computer lab, future girls unit which includes private rooms for ballet, fashion design and jewellery design, and hospitality and tradition preservation programme.

In addition to this, the Nurseries Chief also confirmed that seven 3D printers have been incorporated for 3D design programmes. The Club now boasts a total registration of over 2000 children and youth members ranging from ages 7 to 18.
