On the 10th of December 2011, a few leo’s from
the Leo Club of Assunta, Damansara Jaya, Taman Petaling and Taman Sea came
together to help out at the Arts for Grabs bazaar that was held at Annexe,
Kuala Lumpur. The whole purpose of this bazaar is to raise funds to build a
library in a school in rural place in Nepal. Secondhand books were sold at the bazaar to
raise the funds needed.
All the Leo clubs have had a bookdrive in their own
schools so that the books can be sold.
At
around 10 am, all the Leo’s gathered at a&w. As soon as everyone arrived,
we walked to the LRT station which was just opposite with the many bags and
boxes of books that were supposed to be sold at the bazaar.
We
bought out tickets and we were off to the Central Market. They were very
surprised with the amount of books that we brought over. As soon as the books
were sorted according to how much it was going to be sold at, we wrote notes to
the children in Nepal. All these notes will be given to the children during
their next visit.
The
bazaar was a great success. And the Leo Clubs will continue to help them raise
the funds that is needed to ensure that a library will be built for the
children in Nepal.
