On the 29th of January 2011, which was on Saturday, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta organized a trip to the Praise Emmanuel Children’s Home, P.E.C.H in Petaling Jaya. We reached the home at around 10 o’clock in the morning.
Before we started, we mixed around with the kids there, getting to know them better. After that, we introduced ourselves to the kids, and they did the same to us too. The leo’s were then separated in groups of three, with three kids and taught them how to make fishes and lanterns out of ang pau packets.
At about 11.30pm, we had some game sessions with the kids, such as ‘statue dance’ and the ‘passing the sweets’ game. It was a lot of fun. After all those jumping around and laughing with the kids, it is finally time for tea break! We served them drinks, cakes and a chocolate bar each. We took pictures with them, and then it was time to say goodbye to all the children there. We left the place around 12.50 pm and reached school before 1.00 pm.
From this project, we learnt about how these children support themselves. We should spend more time to get to know them and not look down on them. We had a great time with the children and it was great to be able to spread the joy of the festive season with them.
