On July 4, 2025, pupils from Kaunlaran Integrated School Foundation, Inc., accompanied by their teachers and parents, visited various local government offices. This excursion was part of their Community Helper 2025 program.

The purpose of the visit was to provide students with firsthand experience of the roles and responsibilities of different community workers. By engaging directly with these public servants, the pupils gained valuable insight into how local government functions and the vital services it offers to the community.
