The Myanmars from the Centre were divided into two groups where children of younger age were given icebreakers that are less challenging while the much older children were given opportunity to experience the more challenging games that require more cooperation and support. The Leos also joined together to have fun with them.

The Refugees were also given many opportunities to share their talents with the Leos. There were also performances conducted by the Leos for the Refugees. The Leos come together to sing a couple of Leo songs. One of the Myanmars performed a song on the guitar accompanied by a few more of other performances that came along.

Report on SightFirst Campaign

On the 12th of August 2012, the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya and the Lions Club of Hulu Selangor organized a SightFirst campaign. This campaign was to give free eye check-up to the poor. Lions and Leos from the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya, Lions Club of Hulu Selangor, Leo Club of SMK Assunta, Leo Club of Taman Petaling and the Leo Club of Petaling Jaya Integrity attended the project which was held in Batang Kali.
We were assigned to the task of handling the registration and helping the patients to the eye check-up van. Citizens aged 40 and above were only allowed the free eye check-up. It was an eye-opener as many of us take for granted the good eyesight that we have. This project has taught us to be grateful for what we have. There was also a free blood test for the patients to test the sugar level in the blood.
The Sightfirst campaign was featured in the China Press newspaper. All in all, the project was a success and we hope to attend and conduct more projects like this in the future.
