By V.Sankara

KUALA LUMPUR,  April 30 -- The Embassy of Poland in Malaysia has come up with a unique competition for Malaysians, especially youngsters, comprising a series of tasks that can be done at home.

Ambassador of Poland to Malaysia, Prof Krzysztof Debnicki, said the #BePolishAtHome Challenge will see youngsters from Poland posing a challenge to Malaysians to accomplish some fun and educational tasks while they stay home in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“In light of the current Movement Control Order (MCO), our world and our lives have been subjected to unprecedented change and adjustments.

“The global COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to take decisive action in many areas and often it’s the youngsters that have a hard time coping with it.

“Thus, this #BePolishAtHome Challenge will definitely be a treat for youngsters staying at home to keep them occupied during MCO,” he told Bernama.

The Polish Students – 6-8 graders from a Public School in Poland (Szkoła Podstawowa w Józefosławiu) – have prepared a series of cooking or decorating assignments, as part of their English class curriculum, in video format (such as https://www.facebook.com/PLinKualaLumpur/videos/2982138258529543/).
