Venue:
Taman Tun Dr Ismail Park, Agathians Shelter
On March 10th, project Mission Leo-Possible was organized by the Leo Club of
Damansara Jaya in collaboration with the Leo Club of Taman Sea and Leo Club of
PJI (Omega). The project's goal was to provide assistance to the Agathians
Shelter while fostering teamwork and entrepreneur skills among the participants.
The event was held at TTDI Park and attracted 90 participants consisting of Leo
members from Taman Sea, Damansara Jaya, Taman Petaling, Assunta, PJI (O) as
well as Lions club of Petaling Jaya members.
The
participants were divided into 18 teams to form a team of five mostly consisting of a Lion,
an Omega Leo and three Alpha Leos. Once the teams were formed, the organizing
chairperson, Leo Ng Sher Wu gave a short speech and instructions to kick start the event. Modeled after the TV series "The Amazing Race", each team raced
to solve puzzles strewn across the park area. Once a puzzle was solved, subsequent
clues were provided which ultimately led them to collect ingredients to make
sandwiches. Each team's handmade sandwiches are then sold to the general public
to raise money for the final challenge. Hosted by Leo Jack and Leo Alex, the
final challenge was an auction which had teams bid for items needed by the Agathian
home. Subsequently, the designated driver for each team was to send their
members to purchase the items and race back to the orphanage.

The
first team to arrive back at the orphanage and thus crowned the winner was the
team led by Leo Eric Teh (PJI) consisting of Monica Tan (Assunta), Crystal Yap (Assunta), Charis Lee (Assunta) and Joanne R. Jankins (Taman Sea). Once all teams have regrouped, Leos took the opportunity to mingle with the
orphans in a cupcake-decorating session. The event ended at 3.00p.m. with a
prize giving ceremony and a birthday celebration for a Leo member from Taman
Sea. The project successfully raised and donated RM 2000 worth of essential goods and
monetary funds to the Agathians shelter.
