On
the 4th of February 2012, Leos from the Leo Club of Assunta paid a visit to
Rumah Juara, a home for underprivileged children. The Dragon New Year project
was organized to celebrate Chinese New Year with the children. 10 Leos and 5
probationers took part in this project.
We
were gathered at the school by 10.15a.m and we then headed to Rumah Juara. When
we arrived, we started by introducing ourselves to everyone. We were then
separated into two groups for an ice breaking game. Two Leo members held up a
piece of cloth dividing the two groups who are facing each other. When the
cloth is pulled down and the representative of each group can see each other,
they would say the name of the person in front of them and the one who says it
earlier wins. It was a really fun game.
After
the ice breaker, we sat in small groups, each group with one Leo member and a
few children. We taught them how to fold lotuses out of red packets. It was
tough in the beginning but they never gave up trying. They managed to fold a
lot of lotuses and they were then combined together to form a dragon.
After Leo Amanda finished up the dragon, we
played some games with the children. We were divided into two groups and stood
in two circles. We then held hands with people who are not standing beside us
and we had to untangle our ourselves after that. The next game was Statue
Dance. When the music play, everyone has to dance and when the music pause, we
have to stay in that position and are not suppose to move. We had three winners
for this game. The children are really creative with the dance steps and danced
very well.
We
all had a great time and we were glad we took part in this project. We made
many new friends and we're surely going to miss all of them.
