Christmas Carolling Report (10.12.2010 – 11.12. 2010)

Christmas carolling is an annual project every year organized by the Assunta Secondary Girls School. This year the Christmas caroling project was organized by the Assunta Secondary Girls with the cooperation of 3 other schools which are, Taman Petaling Secondary school, La Salle Secondary school and lastly Sultan Abdul Samad Secondary School. The Christmas Caroling program was held on the 10th of December 2010 and 11th of December 2010. It was held at 7 various homes including old folks homes and kid’s orphanages. The objectives of this project is to spread the Christmas spirit and also to spend some time with the less fortunate during the festive season.

On the morning of 10th of December 2010, as early as 8.30 a.m, 31 leos gathered at the bus stop of Assunta Secondary Girls school and waited for the bus to come. Next, our first stop was the Life Care old folks home. We sang joyful songs such as ‘Ruldolph The Red Nose Reindeer’, ‘Felice Navidad’ and many more Christmas songs. It was a real joy to see the smile and laughter on the faces of the old folks. Besides that, we also visited the Golden Age Nursing Home which is located at SS3, Kelana Jaya. We arrived there at 10. 45 am. The Leos caroled and also spent some time talking to the old folks.

Our next destination was the Agathian’s Shelther. Kids at the Agathian’s Shelther also joined us in singing and they danced along to the songs that were sang. Not only that, we also played exciting games with the kids, such as ‘Pass the Parcel’ and other thrilling games. After visiting 3 various homes, the leos had an one hour break from 1.00pm till 2.00 pm. At 2.15pm, we continued our caroling program at the Praise Emmanuel Children’s Home (PECH). We sang songs such as ‘The Little Drummer Boy’ and ‘Frosty the Snowman’ .The kids at PECH as well as the leos were having a great time playing games while they bonded together. We said our goodbyes to the kids at PECH at 3.15pm which was our last home for the day. Lastly, we arrived back at Assunta Secondary Girls School by 3.30 pm.

On the 11th of December 2010, which is our 2nd day of our Christmas caroling program, the leos visited the Sunshine Home which is an old folks home located next to the Assunta Hospital. Before we started, the leos gave a brief introduction about themselves and also the objectives of having this Christmas caroling program. Everyone including the old folks were having fun together. We ended our caroling program with a song title ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’ and we went around wishing all the old folks a very merry Christmas.

Next, we visited the Precious home which is an orphanage home. The kids there were very sweet and happy with the presence of the leos. We played a few games with the kids at Precious home such as ‘Statue Dance’ and ‘Pass the parcel’. The kids were also given choice of carols to sing together. All the leos were having a blast and amazing time with these kids.

Our last and final home for the program, was the Grace Villa Home Care. When we arrived, all the old folks were already happily waiting for us. We sang many Christmas songs accompanied by guitar played by one of the leos. Same as the other old folks home, the leos spent some time talking and bonding with them. We bid our last goodbye to the old folks home at 2.30pm, which means that it was the end of our Christmas caroling program. We arrived back at Assunta Secondary School at 2.50pm.

This year Christmas carolling was a real blast. Everyone, including the leos had a real joyful time. The leos also learned that Christmas is not only all about present, parties and songs but it is also about taking some time of our busy scheduled life and spending time with the less fortunate and the elderly like that saying that goes, 'It is better to give than to receive’.

Report on 'A Day of Fun with the Myanmar Refugee Children'

On Monday the 6th of December 2010, we had a day of fun just for the Myanmar refugee children and their families. It was held at the Fraser Tower's function hall. Everyone gathered at the hall at around 11.00 am.

Each of them were given party hats to wear to get them into the mood. We got to know each other, introduced ourselves and sang christmas songs. Then, a parent sponsored some tshirts and fabric paint for the children to design their own tshirts. All of them enjoyed painting and decorating their tshirts. They were certainly very creative in their own special ways.

After that, they had some home cooked lunch. They had fried rice, meehoon, chicken, fruits cupcakes, jelly and etc. They indulged in the food prepared for them and ate until they were very full. It was great to see that they appreciated the food served.

Then, we played some light games with them. Such as the straw game and candy game, mainly for the younger children. Before the party ended, each of the children and their parents received christmas gifts and some essentials for their family. They were all suprised and happy to receive their present.

Report on 'Christmas Party with Rumah Juara Kids'

On the 7th of December 2010, a joint project was organized by the Leo Clubs of Subang Jaya, USJ 8, La Salle PJ, Kepong, USJ 4, Assunta, Sri Kuala Lumpur and Subang Utama which was to treat the Rumah Juara children to some lunch and games in conjunction with the festive season coming up just around the corner.

The children arrived at the A&W outlet near the Taman Jaya LRT Station at approximately 10.30am. We greeted the children and got to know them before the activities started. We mixed around with the children for about half an hour and the food arrived. They had fried chicken, hotdogs, french fries and a waffle with ice-cream for lunch. It was definitely a feast for them.

After lunch, the A&W mascot entertained the children and played some games with them, such as, musical chairs, dancing and passing the parcel. There were many prizes given to the top 3 winners of each game.

By 12.30pm, it was time to say goodbye to the children. Before leaving, each and everyone of them received a christmas gift from santa claus. They were all happy to receive their gifts. All of them went back with a huge smile on their faces and everyone enjoyed themselves.

A report on 'Little India'

A luminated celebration

An early Deepavali celebration for the kids at the Juara Home came on the 2nd of November when the members of the Leo Club of Assunta Secondary School made a visit to their home. The 20 girls were certain that it would be great way to spend a day with the children.

As soon as the girls had entered the home, they were greeted by the caretakers of the home. After a couple of minutes, the caretakers brought the children out to meet the girls who were eagerly waiting for them. There were around 15 children in the home, most of them were ranging from the ages of about 4 to 12 years old. Some were really timid and some were just so full of life that they made the girls smile from ear to ear.

To get the day started, the girls first had to know the names of the children and to break the ice as some of the children were really quiet and refused to even open their mouths to let their names out. The girls had been to other orphanages before and knew exactly what to do when it came down to getting the children to blurt out their names. It was a simple game which involved all the children and the girls to stand around in a circle and introduce themselves. It was mad chaos when the game started as the kids were laughing and running about with the girls. The main objective of the game was not to get caught in the middle of the circle and to play you simple had to know everyone’s name. It was certainly a joyous way to kick things off.

Later on , the girls got the children into two groups , each group had around 7 orphans and about 4 members of the Leo Club of Assunta. Since Deepavali was fast approaching and this whole visit was mainly to indulge in the Indian culture, the girls made up their mind that it was a must to design a ‘rangoli’ with the children as it has also been said to be the bearer of good luck. Since time was a constraint in the situation, the girls had come ready with the designs and coloured rice. The children sat down in their groups as enthusiastic and pumped up as they could be ready to get things started.

By the end of activity , the day was already in full swing, with the kids speaking at the top of their voices requesting for more games. Next up the girls thought the children might get a little hungry during the games, so they brought along some food and since it was nearing Deepavali, the girls had brought along with them some Indian traditional cakes. They children were elated to see the numerous containers filled with the cakes. While the children were savouring the cakes, the girls got some time to teach them a little about what the art of henna. Some of the children even wanted the girls to draw out simple designs onto their hands.

As all good times have to come to an end, the girls soon had to leave the children as it was getting late. The visit ended on a high note with the children hugging the girls as they said their good byes’ and some even asking the girls to come back as soon as possible for another round of games.

Report on the ‘PECH’ Carnival

On the 23rd of October 2010, which was on a Saturday, the LEO club of SMK Assunta attended the PECH(Praise Emmanuel Children’s Home) carnival that was being held in the MBPJ Community Hall in Kelana Jaya. The main objective of this joyous event was to raise funds for the Praise Emmanuel Children’s Home. The LEO’s who attended this carnival where there to give their support. They also lent a helping hand to the stall owners that needed help.

The carnival began at about 10 in the morning. There were many stalls that were set up to raise funds on that day. Food stalls and a junkyard sale were set up in the hall while the games and the drink stalls were set up outside. The main attraction to the carnival was the games. The children especially enjoyed playing archery, snake and ladders, Bingo, the wheel of fortune and many more. The winners of each game were given a prize.

Many chairs were arranged in the hall too for the parents and children so that they could sit down and watch the performances that were put up on stage. Among the performances was the magic show, a singing performance by the very children of the home they were raising funds for, karaoke and much more. Everyone enjoyed the performances a lot.

It was really easy to get coupons because there were always people walking around selling them. After a long tiring day, the carnival finally ended at around 3 in the afternoon and everyone was satisfied and happy to go home.

We found that this carnival was a huge success and we were all very happy that we attended the carnival on that day. Eventhough not many LEO’s were able to attend, we managed to give our outmost support in making this carnival a good one.

Report on Vision of Peace

On the 17th of October, the Leos of Assunta assisted during the Peace Poster Contest 2010 (Theme: Vision of Peace) jointly organized by the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya and Sin Chew Jit Poh held at Subang Avenue. We kept an eye on the participants and helped them if they were having any troubles as they were mostly below the age of 12.

The participants gathered around and the opening ceremony was conducted. Lion Kesavan as the president of the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya gave his speech and presented a token of appreciation to those involved in organizing the event.

Then, the participants were divided into their respective catagories. There were two catagories in this competition, which was just colouring or drawing and colouring. The children took their places and prepared their work area. At 11am the competition started. The duration given to complete their artwork was about 2 hours.

At 1.30pm, the children handed in their completed masterpiece and were given time to have a break. At 2 pm, it was the prize giving and closing ceremony. Many prizes were given out and the winner of both catagories had impressed the judges with their wonderful artwork. It was great to see so many talented artists even at such a young age.

A Report on the ‘Cheesy N Sweet’ Funding project

From the 27th till the 29th of September 2010, a project was held at the cafeteria of Assunta Secondary School. 10 Leos were involved in this project. The purpose of this project is to raise funds for the club.

On the first day of the project, we sold cupcakes and cheesy wedges. Around 10.20 a.m. the Leo members set up a stall at the cafeteria. Our sale went on well when the students came down for recess. After we finished selling most of the food, we packed up and cleaned the area.

The next day, we sold cupcakes and it was a hit as everybody were interested in buying it.

On the last day, only cheesy wedges were sold. The sale on that day was the most successful among all the three days. The cheesy wedges sold like hot cakes. Many students were interested to buy. Even teachers.

The total sum of money we raised for all three days were RM299.00. All these were made possible thanks to the cooperation showed by all parties who participated.

Splatter of Colours report!

On the 5th and 6th of October, members of the Leo Club of Assunta paid a visit to Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Sayang which is an orphanage located in University Garden, Petaling Jaya. A total number of 5 Leos attended this project and we were accompanied by 2 teachers. The main objective of this project was to complete a mural painting on one of the walls of the home.

The Leos arrived at the home around 9 in the morning and got to work right away. The first thing that had to be done was deciding the exact design that was to be drawn onto the wall. Leo Bue had submitted a design earlier in the month which was approved by the care takers at the home and therefore that was the design that was to be used. The care takers of the home had also mentioned that they wanted their logo to be part of the mural and so Leo Bue was given the task to incorporate the logo into her design. After making the final touches to the design, a couple of Leos started to sketch out the design onto the wall. For the sketching, chalk was used as it was easy to erase in case of a mistake. The drawing did not take long and they it was done in a blink of an eye.

Since it was a home for the kids, the design consisted of a cloud and a rainbow stretching across the wall. After the drawing had been done, the Leos had to paint it. The colours that were chosen for the rainbow were such as red, orange, blue, green and purple. Since we did not have the exact colours , we had to blend several different colours to obtain the colours which were to be used for the rainbow. While some of the Leos were painting the rainbow on the wall, the others had to come up with stencils which would then be used for the wordings on the wall. Leo Grace had previously printed out the letters onto A4 paper and she left it up to the Leos to cut out the alphabets to create a stencil.

At around 12.30 p.m. the Leos found that they were almost three quarters done with the work. The only thing that could not be completed was painting the red into the rainbow as there was no red paint available and it could not be conjured up. One of the things that was still yet to be done was to paint the Leo emblem onto the wall which was one of the minor jobs of the day. The Leo emblem was painted on by Leo Bue and Leo Saliza.

Lastly at around 2.30 in the afternoon, the Leos put the finishing touches onto the mural and they were done with it. Before leaving the home, we cleaned up the mess and also donated some food to the children at the home as we said our good byes’.

A Report on ‘The Grin of Green Project’ (tree planting)

On the 18 of September 2010, we had a project called the “The Grin of Green”. The Grin of Greens is about tree planting. The tree planting was held at the Raja Musa Peat Forest Reserve. It was of SMK Assunta. Our Lion advisor, Lion Ivan and the teacher accompanied us on this project.

We left school at 7.10 am. We had our breakfast in the bus. Our breakfast was sponsored by High 5. We reached the Raja Musa Peat Forest Reserve at 8.30 am. We were briefed on how to plant the trees by the “World’s Greenest Man”. After that, we took pictures together with him.

We started carrying all the baby Mahang trees to the area where we were going to plant the trees. After that, we were put into groups of 5 people and carried the trees into the peat swamp area to be planted. First, we dug a hole in the mud until we could see water. Then, we took out the plastic from the roots and put the trees into the hole. After that, we closed up the hole that we dug. That was how we were to plant the trees.

After we planted the trees, we had a group photo together with other volunteers. There were a total of 100 volunteers including our school who helped out in the tree planting. We planted about 1500 trees. We left the Raja Musa Peat Forest Reserve at 11.30am. It was 1 ½ an hour journey from the Raja Musa Peat Forest to SMK Assunta. We reached school at 1.00pm.

This project was definitely very exhausting. We were all under the sun for the whole morning. However, this has definitely taught us much and we now know how much effort has to be put in to ensure the wellbeing of Mother Nature. We went home knowing that we have made a difference and helped save the environment in one way or another.

Report on a Kidney Talk by National Kidney Foundation

On the 25th of August 2010, 4 Leos attended the Kidney Talk by the National Kidney Foundation. This talk was organized by the Interact Club of SMK Assunta. It was held at the Art Gallery in SMK Assunta from 1.30p.m. to 2.30p.m..

At 1.30p.m., we registered at the registration counter. As an admission fee, each one of us had to either bring 5cm-thick of old newspapers or 5 used aluminium tins. It started with the emcee introducing the project organizer, Interactor Sarah with her speech. Then the emcee introduced the speaker for the day, Ms. Lu Yean from National Kidney Foundation.

Ms. Lu Yean spoke all about our kidneys. She started off with introducing us the National Kidney Foundation, it was founded in 1969 and is a non-profitable organization. She told us their motto which is “Giving Hope”. She told us about the functions of our kidneys and how important they were .Then she spoke about a few types of kidney diseases there were, which are Chronic Kidney Disease and End-Stage Kidney Disease. A few symptoms of kidney disease were constant tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Swelling of certain body parts were also one of the physical symptoms.

She then proceeded to the people who were at high risk of getting kidney disease, which were senior citizens, diabetic patients, obese people, hypertension, people who smoke and those who take in plenty of pills a day. Kidney disease can also be inherited from one’s family. Kidney disease can happen to anyone at an age.

Next, she told us about the types of treatments there were for kidney disease such as dialysis and kidney transplant. We were informed about the prices of each of the treatments which was, up to RM100, 000 for a kidney transplant. For dialysis, there were two types of it, which is haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Haemodialysis will have to be conducted up to 4 hours per session and 3 times a week while a peritoneal dialysis is 30 minutes per session and it is conducted 3-5 times a day.

After the talk, there was a short quiz about kidneys which she gave away a keychain for every correct answer. Then the president the Interact Club came up to give a small token of appreciation to Ms. Lu Yean. Then project was then ended at 2.30p.m.. At the back of the gallery, there were a few posters up about our kidney and we were encouraged to take a look.

This talk sure has benefited all of us who attended as we now know how to prevent our kidneys from kidney disease.

Report on 'Use Your Own Paper' Project

On the 20^th of August, 2010, a short general meeting was held to brief the members on the latest updates. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 1.30pm, which was when Leos and students went to the pavilion of SMK Assunta to participate in an environmental friendly project. The project is called “Use Your Own Paper” and it was organized by Leo Vern Gin. The aim of the project is not only to recycle old newspapers without going through factory processes, but also to raise awareness among the students about the importance of recycling old newspapers.

A few items were prepared; they were hairdryers, basins that are half filled with newspaper pulp, a few sieves, a few pieces of cardboards and sponges. With all these items, the Health Environmental Director of Leo Club of SMK Assunta, Leo Eva Chen did a simple demonstration on the field on how to recycle old newspapers and therefore renewing them into a new piece of paper.

1. First off, immerse your sieve into the basin of pulp and water. Make sure you get pulp onto the sieve.

2. Secondly, shake your sieve gently to make sure your sieve is covered with an even and THIN layer of pulp.

3. Thirdly, raise your sieve; you now have a thin and even layer of pulp. Use a piece of cardboard to press out excessive water from the pulp. Then, use a sponge to absorb the remaining water from the pulp gently.

4. Once you are sure that the layer of pulp is reasonably dry, tilt it over carefully along with the cardboard, the layer of pulp should now be on your cardboard. In a VERY slow and gentle motion, carefully remove the sieve to ensure that the layer of pulp does not attach to the net while you’re removing it.

5. Use a hairdryer to blow dry the layer of pulp.

6. Before the layer of pulp dries up completely, once again carefully peel off the layer of pulp. Make sure the damped pulp is still attached in one piece without any holes or dents.

7. Finally, flip it over and dry the other side of the piece of pulp. Repeat the drying process twice and you should now have a dry and new piece of paper.

Everyone took turns to make their own new piece of paper. The whole process including the drying process took about an hour. Once everyone was done, they gathered at the pavilion once again and were told to decorate their new pieces of handmade paper.Though the paper quality may not be as good as factory processed papers, it is still writable and not to mention unique, we even made one for Lion Ivan as a souvenir from us! The project ended at approximately 3.30pm and everyone took a group photo before leaving.

Overall, this project was rather successful and no doubt environmental friendly. And it was definitely not as dirty as it sounds and looks. We had fun recycling old newspapers and to bond with one another.

ARE YOU CAPABLE OF DOING THAT???

A Report on the ‘Food for Charity’ Funding Project

On the 9th August 2010, a ‘Food for Charity’ project was held at the cafeteria of the Assunta Secondary School. 7 Leos were involved in this project. We sold spaghetti during interval, which was from 10.30a.m to 10.50a.m. The purpose of this project was to offer a different type of food to the students and also to raise fund for the club.

At 10.20a.m Leo Florence, Leo Suet Yee and Leo Lillian Toh set up a stall at the cafeteria. Our sales increased when the form 4 and form 5 students came down for recess. We promoted our spaghetti to the students and many of them were interested in buying our food. At 10.50a.m, we packed and cleaned up the area as recess had ended.

Eventhough we were given 20 minutes to sell our food, we managed to raise RM50.00. Without cooperation, we will not be able to reach our target. This project had not only been successful, but it taught us to work together as a team. Thank you.

A report of the Leo Club of SMK DJ's Installation

The 21st Installation of the Leo Club of Damansara Jaya was held on the 24th July 2010. The Leo Members representing the SMK Assunta Petaling Jaya arrived at the SMK Damansara Jaya about 1.30pm and were greeted upon arrival. We were led to the school hall and souvenirs were extended to us before the kick-off the event.

The function was called to order at approximately 1.45pm, with an inaugural ceremony of the Flag Salutation, the National Anthem, the Leo Pledge and the roll call. After which was a very warm welcome address by the Organising Chairpersons and foundational speeches by the Outgoing President and Handing Over of Office & Insignia and the President of the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya.

The highlight of the function was the much-awaited Induction of New Members by District Chairperson and the Installation of President and the Board of Directors Fiscal Year 2010/2011 of the Leo Club of the SMK Damansara Jaya. The Incoming President, Leo Ashley Tan, spoke on her acceptance. Following which Lion Alan, the Advisor of the Leo Club of SMK Damansara Jaya & the Guest of Honour, Region Chairperson for Region 7 Lion Nelson Wong provided their sermon to the audience to officiate the Installation.

After all the speeches, a lucky draw took place thereafter. There was also a membership and appreciation ceremony where certificates were extended out to the Leos. To add spice to the event, there were several performances.

The installation adjourned off at 5pm in the evening to some light refreshments and followed with fellowship at the school canteen.
