Leo Club of Swinburne Sarawak is related to:
Sponsoring Club, Lions Club of Kuching North (Kuching)
Leo clubs under the same Lions Club:
-Leo Club of SMK Green Road (Kuching)
-Leo Club of SMK Batu Lintang (Kuching)
-Leo Club of SM Chung Hua No 1 (Kuching)
Sister Club. Leo Club of Sibu Mandarin (Sibu) [Twinned in 2006]
Sister Club, Leo Club of George Town Mutiara (Penang) [Twinned in 2010]

There are formal events held such as the initiation ceremony and the installation ceremony. The club has more fellowships compared to others because fellowship is important too. Fellowships enable Lions and Leos to reduce the relationship gap. It also enables us to learn from the experienced ones. Lions play an important role in Leo Clubs because Lions are often set as examples and leaders so that Leos could learn from them. That is why Lions and Leos should always get together. Luckily, some Lions gave us the chance to learn from them. In the club, everyone is given the chance to take part in most of the activities so that they could learn. After all, LEO is all about Leadership, Experience and Opportunity. Leos today, Leaders tomorrow.

There are joint projects by clubs from different zones, regions and even districts or countries. It proves that charity and service does not have any boarder. Love and care without limits. We are lucky to have two sister clubs, Leo Club of Sibu Mandarin and Leo Club of George Town Mutiara. These clubs are like seniors to us and sometimes we would ask opinions and ideas from them. Not forgetting the supportive Lions and Leos from District 308A2 too.

There are meaningful projects which are such as the Mooncake Festival Project and Blood Donation Project. We choose Lions Nursing Home for the Mooncake Festival Project is because of the lonely elders there. In this type of festival, most of the people would go back to their HOME, while these elders in the Lions Nursing Home pass this festival like other lonely and cold day. Elder's heart would be warmed when there are people accompanying them in this festival. Some elders even shed tears when they were given the mooncakes. Leos can help in touching people's heart too. In the Blood Donation Project, every single drop of blood is precious because each drop of blood might save a life. We are lucky that there are still many people supporting the Blood Donation project although it was in the Puasa month for the Muslims.

There are events which we helped homes to raise funds, such as the Cheshire Home Sale, Sarawak Children's Cancer Society Sale and The Salvation Army Sale. These homes depend heavily on the sales to generate income to support their expenses through out the year. Although preparing for the sales are tough, but Leos seems to like it when they can help someone, learn something and have fun at the same time. Thanks to our direct and indirect sponsors in some of our events. Without them, we might not be able to help much.

Below are pictures of some of the activities of Leo Club of Swinburne Sarawak from July 2010 to September 2010.

Our university, Swinburne University of technology (Sarawak campus) is very support in this charity sale. After we summit our proposal of this charity sale to SSSC, our university donated some plastic bag and 2 boxes of mineral water for us to sell and also RM200 in this project.

We arrived at the venue at 7 am in the morning and arranged the food on the table. The number of our stall was 22. The foods that we sell on that day were 100 packs of chicken rice, 60 pieces of sandwiches, 20 bottles of vegetarian source and 4 boxes of mineral water. We sold the chicken rice with 1 bottle of mineral water at RM5, RM3 each for sandwiches and RM 4 each for the vegetarian source. Due to high competitor from the other chicken rice stalls around our area, we decided to lower down the price of our chicken rice to RM4 at around 9am. We manage to sell all the products except few bottle of vegetarian source at 10.30am. At last, we managed to collect RM625 from the sales. This collected fund including the cost of the ingredients and materials is donated to Children Cancer Society.

From the sale, we learned to co-operate to each other as team members. It took our committee members a lot of hard work and effort to make this sale a success. It also improved our communication, marketing and planning skills. At the same time, we were all enjoying this experience and glad that we managed to raise fund for Children Cancer Society.

I am hoping forward to have another charity sale similar to this one. Leo Club of Swinburne Sarawak will kindly agree in participating next time.

Region 1 Leo Camp 2009

2009-09-27T07:53:00.006+08:00

On 28-30 August, Region 1 Leo camp had successfully organize by Leo Danny Lai(Leo Club of Swinburne Sarawak ) and Leo Mei Chin ( Leo Club of Sungai Tapang) . The principal consultant for the camp is DC Lion Mike Lim and the Camp Chief is Mr. Peroz Mc Pherson. There were 12 Leo Club’s members from different Leo Club and 5 other participants participate in that Leo Camp. The Venue is at Mount Mike, 10th mile Matang, Kuching which is also a villa of DC Lion Mike Lim.

On the 28th August, there were few activities going on. A first activity was Blind Folded game which we are blind folded and the commander leaded us went into the jungle. Next, we were tried to build up our tents and our toilets and bathroom. At night, after our dinner, we went for a night walk in the mountain. Last activities of the days were writing a comment on the activities we did and lesson that we learned for the day.

On the second day, we cooked for our own breakfast and learned how to start a fire with only one match. We played obstacles and games such as trust fall, holding hands and untangle ourselves, Spiderman games that promote team work. At night, we have our barbeque. A video clip of the“Acheh Tsunami incident” was shown that night. We learned that one should contribute morally and financially to those who are more unfortunate then us and learn to appreciate life.

On the last day, we went to the waterfall and played. Then, we made our own raft and had rafting and swimming competition. After we packed our tents, we have our sharing moment together.

In conclude, I personally feel that is not only a physical camp but spiritual. I learned lots of lesson from this camp. The most meaningful lesson that I learned from the camp was social skills. For example, the ages of the participants were between 12-20 years old, and that is a great opportunity for me to learn how to overcome the gaps between us and acts as a team. I strongly hope that we can organize a camp with cooperate with Lion Mike Lim again and let the other Leo club members have a chance to experience something that they cannot found on book.

We arrived at the venue at 7 am in the morning and arranged the food on the table. Our stall was placed at the corner of Cheshire Home which was less noticeable by people that affected the result of sale for first few hours The number of our stall was 48. Around 9:30 am, more and more people visited our stall since we shouted quite loud to sell chicken rice to attract attention. However, sometime after 10 am, the sale began to slow down. After that, we decided to sell the last few packets of chicken rice for RM 3.00. All food was sold out and we managed to collect RM385 from the sales. This collected fund including the cost of the ingredients and materials is donated to Cheshire Home.

From the sale, we learned to co-operate to each other as team members. It took our committee members a lot of hard work and effort to make this sale a success. It also improved our communication, marketing and planning skills. At the same time, we were all enjoying this experience and glad that we managed to raise fund for Cheshire Home.
