On the 27th of February 2016, 10 Leos along with 2 guardians had hiked up Gasing Hill as part of a health project. They were joined by Othmar Fetz, the author of the Leo Book who was on a 3-day visit to Malaysia. Two Leos had picked Othmar up from his hotel before bringing him to a mamak shop for a light breakfast before the hike. The Leos then joined them at the shop before heading to Gasing Hill.
Being inexperienced hikers, the Leos soon faced fatigue at the halfway mark up the hill. Although they were exhausted, they motivated each other, pushing themselves to the limit until they reached the end of their two-hour long hike. After the hike, they had gone for lunch together with Othmar as a bonding session and also as a form of celebration for their hard-worked-for victory.
Overall, the project was highly-successful. Through the hike, we had learned that although an obstacle may be difficult or even seen as near impossible to accomplish, anything can happen with determination and team work. With the motivation from their peers, the Leos managed to overcome the challenge of the day which was the hike up the hill. It proved that nothing was impossible with a positive attitude. We also hope that Othmar had enjoyed today’s activity and welcome to Malaysia! ROAR!
