Parents or guardians living in Makati City, if you have a son, daughter, niece or nephew aged 6 to 21 years old who are willing to enhance their skills, you may encourage them to enroll in the City’s summer program dubbed as Sports, Music, Arts and Recreational Training or SMART. This is an annual summer training program that aims to develop the skills in sports and other fields of interest among young residents of Makati.
My daughter is one of its graduates in Voice Lessons. She was just six years old then and awarded with a medal as Top 10 outstanding graduate in that particular course.
