A Report on the Hawaii 50 project

On the 7^th of June 2011, a total number of 9 leo’s gathered at our teacher advisors house to make souvenirs for the headmistress of our school. The souvenirs will be given to the teacher’s in Hawaii. Some of the leo’s were incharge of buying the things that were needed to make the souvenirs like pebbles, clothes pegs, acrylic paint and UHU glue. Some of the things were willingly sponsored by the leo’s.

We separated ourselves into two groups. One of the groups were incharge of the decorating the clothes pegs. 20 circles were cut out from a piece of cardboard which was then painted yellow. A lions face was drawn on all the circles using a marker pen. The clothes pegs were painted with many different bright colours. When the pegs were dry, UHU glue was used to paste the lions head onto the peg. Leo Assunta was written on all the pegs with a marker.

While the pegs were being done, the other group was extremely busy painting pebbles. After the pebbles were painted nicely, the quotes that were found by one of our leo’s was written on the pebbles when it was dry enough. When everything was done, the clothes pegs and the pebbles were left to dry. Although we went through a few complications, we still managed to finish it fast. This project wouldn’t have been a success if it wasn’t for the teamwork and effort that the leo’s had put in on that day! Before everyone went home, we painted another pebble especially for our headmistress, Puan Rita. All the Leo’s that were present on that day as well as our teacher advisor, signed and wrote their posts on the pebble.

When we came back to school after the holidays, which was on the 13^th of June 2011, the pebbles were given to our headmistress whereas the pegs were given on the16th of June 2011. She was very pleased with the souvenirs that she had received from the leo club. And we also hope that the teacher’s from Hawaii will like it too.
