On the 27th of June 2017 (Tuesday), 5 of our club members paid a visit to Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Terencat Akal which is a home located in Petaling Jaya for the mentally challenged. At 10a.m. in the morning, 5 of us arrived at Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Terencat Akal. When we arrived, the person in charge gave us a brief introduction about the place. To our surprise, not all the patients were kids. There were kids as young as 6 years old, teenagers and even elderlies. There is a television in the house to keep them entertained. There is an activity space in front of the home where most of them spends their time there. We started our day by playing games with the patients there. Before that, we introduced ourselves to them one by one as some of them have hearing problems. The first game that we played was musical chairs. We arranged the chairs in a circle and got everyone to stand around it with the help of the workers there. The game started; some of them were rea...

      On the 22nd of April 2017, 10 Leos accompanied by 1 faculty advisor as well as 7 Lions made their way to the Neighbourhood Learning Centre. The Leos gathered in school at 9.45 a.m. and proceeded to the centre at 10.00 a.m. with the Lions.                After a 15 minute drive, we reached our destination. The centre housed 20 Burmese children and after introductions, the Leos spent time with the children. The Leos split themselves into groups and bonded with the children. Soon after, group activities were carried out. The first activity was a game called "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Caterpillar Style." The children, who ranged from ages 3-10 years old enjoyed themselves in a competitive version of a classic game.

On the 7 th of April 2017, the Leo Club of Wesley Methodist School held its 14th annual International Relationship Day. The theme for this year’s I.R. Day is ‘Pro bono Publico’ which basically means in Latin, “for the public good”. The objective of this purpose driven event was to remind the audience that no one should be defined by their fear as everyone has their own super powers, which was the power to make a difference; thus encouraging the audience to acknowledge this power within themselves, know their self-worth and understand that they are able to overcome their fears. The event was also aimed to deepen the friendship between Leo club members of our school and members of other clubs who attended the event. All proceeds from this event will be donated to charitable organisations such as World Vision.  This year, about 450 people attended our I.R. Day, including the Lions, school’s board, teachers, students and Leos. At 3.15 pm, registration was officially opened. Our u...

On the 25 th of March 2017 (Saturday) the Leo Club of Wesley Methodist School held its annual charity event – which was Roarchella, from 4.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. It was hosted at HELP College of Arts and Technology, as HELP College had generously allowed us to rent their premises for holding our event.   The theme for this year’s Roarchella was “Safe and Sound”. Besides aiming to raise funds to help the less fortunate as all profits from the event will be donated to various charitable organisations and homes, we also aspire to educate and raise awareness about child abuse in our society today. The theme was specifically chosen as one of our main objectives was to enlighten the public on how a child deserves to feel at home, and not in constant fear of abuse. A child should be living in joy and happiness in a loving home; thus a child should always be safe and sound. This year, the Community Service Director of Leo Club of Wesley Methodist School, Leo Teo Boon Kee, was assisted ...
