Student-run stall at Minds school helps students hone numerical, social skills

SINGAPORE - A new stall at the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled Woodlands Gardens School, which is run by its students and serves snacks to fellow students during recess, was launched by President Halimah Yacob on Thursday .

Mr Chong said:"Participating in initiatives like Mama Express enables students to strengthen their numerical and social skills. The Mama Espresso cafe gives students a platform to conduct transactions with money and also develop their vocabulary." The school aims to expand the store into a full-fledged cafe in the next two years, and serve food - such as cookies and kueh - once it secures a food and beverage license, according to Mr Chong. The students would also prepare drinks for in-house events at the school.

One such student is Mr Leong Jia Wei, 20, who is working part-time at Bake Inc as a food processing worker.
