On 15 June, the second UNHCR Refugee Carnival was held. Unique activities included hand-drawn T-shirts for each child and a photo booth so that refugee children had a memento of their day out.
On 20 June, a mini concert was held, celebrating the spirit and strength of refugees. More than 50 refugee children of various ethnicities performed traditional songs and dances. A Malaysian dance academy worked with 15 refugee children to produce a repertoire of dances.
