· Allow the students to help the community and to pick up additional skills.

On the 23rd of July 34 eager and ready to help Leo’s gathered in front of the school as early as 7.30am for the project Odd Jobs organized by Leo Ho Khai. The day began with a briefing session conducted by the organizing chairperson explaining routes and tasks to each group. The three groups headed by Leos Ho Khai, Christy Yong and Ng Sher Wu embarked on their journeys. Group 1 lead by Ho Khai started off into Jalan SS22A/5. Group 2 lead by Christy Yong moved into Jalan 22A/2 and Group 3 lead by Ng Sher Wu went to Jalan 22A/1. The three groups went around the neighbourhood offering services such as gardening and car washes to raise funds. At roughly 1.30pm when we were all beat and tired with all the washing and weeding, we rallied together to see how much we made. A total of RM665 was raised to be used in future projects and to be given to those in need. The project was a success in a sense that we managed to raise a lot more than we expected and the members themselves were given a chance to bond and further get to know each other. Who knew washing cars on a Saturday morning could actually be quite fun?
