That morning, Leo Club of Swinburne University Sarawak decided to join in the Care project with Leo Club of St. Thomas to Bau. Leos from our club present were Leo Danny Lai, Joanne Lim, Kelvin Chong, Darrel Lim,Chong Man Yen, Yeo May Ying, Vincent Teo, Phang Boon Fui, Rosemary Yen, Thein Jia Yee. The project is aimed at exposing the members of the club to the concept of servicing and volunteering as well as to raise the awareness about the less fortunate ones living in the rural areas in our society today.
We meet the Leos and Lions from Leo Club of St. Thomas at Siang Siang Coffee Shop in MJC at 10AM and started our journey after that.
