The Tiger lantern given by the Lions Club Of Shah Alam City
This project is held each year during the festive of Mid Autumn, the Mooncake Festival with the Rumah Shalom children. Almost like a promise, each year Leos from our club would pay a visit to the children during this festival to celebrate the importance of togetherness and unconditional love. As the only Leo Club in the same neighborhood, it was and still is a definite responsibility that we, Leos have over these children of Rumah Shalom. Who else, but us, Leos are there to share the love, the companionship and the special bond with these children.
As a Serving Together Leo-Lion Joint Project, the Leos have decided to have this project organized jointly with sponsoring club, Lions Club of Shah Alam City. Lion Khor Lee Kean agreed to our invitation almost immediately after we submitted the proposal of this project. The Lions Club of Shah Alam City was generous enough to sponsor a total amount of RM 500 for the children. The money was used to cover up for the dinner prepared for the children, lanterns, candles and a few packets of rice for the children of Rumah Shalom. The Lions present during the event included RCC Lion Chan Kee Oi, Lion Kievin Yip, Lion Khor Lee Kean, Lion Carol Tan, Lion Tan Meng Yeow, Lion Mimi Lee Lay Mei, and last but not least, our Leo Advisor, Lion Kek Lee Beng. The Leos were utterly contented and pleased that the event was blessed with the arrival of the Lions.
The first agenda of the visit was the ice – breaking session between the Leos, Lions and also the children. It was unfortunate that on the same particular day, some children were also involved in a trip to KL and were unable to celebrate the festive with us. The Leos introduced themselves to the children which eventually prompted the children to do so. Leo Pui Yee then introduced the Lions to the children and the caretaker upon the arrival of all the Lions. After a brief ice- breaking session, the children and Leos were divided into two large groups of guys and girls. The guy Leos led the boys to the field just opposite the home for a game of football whereas the girls stayed with the remaining Leos for several interactive games. The Leos did the ritual for their visit, which is to play doll up with the makeup accessories such as lipstick, lip gloss, blusher, mascara and not forgetting nail varnish. The Leos and the girls had great fun applying makeup on each other while laughing at each other’s comical face. Lion Carol Tan also joined in the fun and painted nail varnish for the girls. After cleaning and washing up, the Leos and girls went to the playground beside the field for a stroll. The Leos and girls ended up playing chasing games like “Tag” and “Ice and Water”.
As the sun began to set, the Leos, children and Lions took a few photos together before returning to the home for a sumptuous dinner. The Leos have prepared chicken rice with soup, salad, kuih lapis and also watermelons for the children. They were really obedient and well-mannered as they say their “thank you” and “please” to the Leos who served them. The Leos and lions also joined in for a meal of mouth-watering chicken rice. Our Leo Advisor,Lion Kek Lee Beng joined the children at the dining table in the kitchen whereas the rest of the Leos sat down in the hallway. It was indeed an amazing sight as a four year old Nigel stood up and said grace in his loudest voice as the rest followed. Lion Lee Beng smiled reassuringly at the children as we looked.
After dinner, it was the time when all the children have been waiting for; - time to play lanterns! The Leos helped the children to light up their lanterns and put on sticks for them to hold so that their hands would not be burned. Hands in hands, the Leos and the children went for a Lantern Walk around the residential area with the company of the Lions. The children were really having a good time, laughing and teasing each other as they walked together. It was an amazing sight, to see the Leos and the children together just like that.
Soon, it was time to say goodbye. The children was reluctant to let us leave, but relented after hearing our promises that we would be back for Christmas. The Leos expressed their greatest thanks and appreciations to the Lions for the contributions and the efforts for the children. It was a truly meaningful event, not just for the children but to all of us, to be blessed by such unconventional bonds of love and company and to believe that love has no boundaries.
