On the 8th of December 2014,
the Leo Club of SMK Kepong Baru organized a Christmas celebration with the
orphans in a home school called Agape Home School. There were 8 Leos in
total who participated this celebration.
At approximately 9am,
all the Leos gathered at the front gate of SMK Kepong Baru. We then loaded the
van with the gifts, props and food that we were going to bring to the home
school. The first thing we did when we arrived was to put down our bags and
took off our shoes. After that, we went into their school and Leo Chan Kar Yik
introduced himself and explained to everyone what the purpose of the visit was
and also what we were going to do there.
We started the event by playing a few games to
break the ice which were Picture Guessing and Jump Jump Tempo. The winner of
the games were given a small gift as a reward. The orphans had lots of fun as
they jump around happily when the received their gifts. After 2 games, it was
then time for a meal as everyone were already exhausted from the game. Leo Khew
Kai Syan sponsored boxes of chicken rice while the drinks were sponsored from
our club.
We continued our event by singing Christmas
songs which was lead by Leo Chin Yen Ling. All of us had a lot of fun teaching
the children how to sing the songs. It was a proud moment when they finally got
the hang of it as most of them did not speak English well. Furthermore, we
arranged a circle of chairs in the classroom so that the orphans and some of
the Leos could play a game of musical chairs. The orphans were having a lot of
fun running around and laughing when one of them did not get a chair to sit on.
We then gave out small notes to every orphans and asked
them to write their Christmas wishes. The notes we then collected and hung onto
the Christmas tree that was in the class room. It was a really great
opportunity to be able to celebrate Christmas with them. All in all it was a
fun day and everyone enjoyed themselves. It was a good experience for every one
of us and it taught us to be grateful for everything we have as not everyone is
as blessed and fortunate as we are.
