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’.
