Project Paper Cranes

     On the 26^th and 29^th of February 2016, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta had organised “Project Paper Cranes” in conjunction with the upcoming first term exam. The main objective of this project was to fold paper cranes with quotes for studying to motivate the students. This project also aims to bond the Leos and probates together whilst teaching the participants the art of folding paper origami. The project was split into two days; the preparation day and the distribution day. 

     27 Leos and probates had participated in the preparation day of the project which was held on the 26^th. First, they were split into two groups; one to fold the paper cranes and one to write motivational quotes on the wings of the cranes. Although many of the probates did not know how to fold a paper crane, they learned how to do so from the Leos who taught them patiently. Learning quickly, the probates and Leos worked together to produce 170 paper cranes in one hour. The paper cranes were then distributed to the afternoon session students during their recess. 

     On the 29^th, 3 Leos had gone around a few classes to place the paper cranes on every student’s table in the respective classes. The paper cranes were also given to random students, who were absolutely delighted and thanked us warmly when we wished them good luck. 

     Overall, the project was highly-successful and meaningful. Paper cranes, in Japanese culture, are symbols of hope during challenging times. With this thought in mind, we hope that the paper cranes and the quotes would motivate our fellow Assuntarians, give them hope to do well and improve on their results in the upcoming first term exam. This project has also taught us that when we work together as a team, we can accomplish anything efficiently and effectively. To all the students facing their first term exams, we wish you good luck and all the best. ROAR!

Leolympics 2016 - Volleyball

     On the 27^th of February 2016, 7 Leos had participated in the Leolympics 2016 for the sport of volleyball. It was highly-enjoyable as the Leos gave their all during the matches against skilled opponents. Despite not winning any placing in the event, it was a great experience and lessons were learnt as teamwork is a prominent feature in sports and in many other activities such as the Leo Club’s projects. Overall, the event was a success and we hope to improve on our game and return for another next year. ROAR!

Clean-up Taman Jaya

     On the 29^th of February 2016, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta and Leo Club of La Salle Petaling Jaya had jointly-organised the “Clean-Up Taman Jaya” project. The aim was to clean up Taman Jaya and have a fellowship session amongst the Leos and Othmar Fetz on his last day in Kuala Lumpur. 

     13 Leos and probates had gone around, picking rubbish in the park in efforts to make it cleaner. Afterwards, the Leos had played short games of “Captain Ball” and “Pass the Bomb”. Lunch was a picnic that was prepared by the Leos for everyone present beforehand. The Leos had actually baked chocolate chip cookies on the previous day, and they handed them out to the people in the park as a random act of kindness with short messages such as “Have a nice day!” and “Keep moving forward!” 

     After the distribution of cookies, the Leos carried on with various more games such as “Tom and Jerry” and “Never Had I Ever”.  The project was then concluded with a small souvenir session whereby we, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta, had given Othmar Fetz a small gift to express our sincerest thanks for visiting us. In return, he had given a badge that said “Leo Book” which we accepted with upmost gratitude. 

     Overall, the project was a successful one and everyone had a great time. Despite having simple projects in conjunction with Othmar’s visit, the projects went smoothly and we had learned that teamwork is important whenever we do something. To Othmar, we hope you have enjoyed your stay in Kuala Lumpur and have had a great time during our projects. We would like to sincerely thank you for visiting us and we hope that our paths will cross again in the future. Till then, stay healthy and have a safe flight. ROAR!
