Project: Why Plastic?

Organizer Chairperson: Leo Lor Jia Yang
Report by: Leo Lor Jia Yang

Edited by: Leo Chong Jia Sheng

On the 24th of June 2012, in conjunction with the school's event, 'E-Thon', the Leos of SMK Damansara Jaya have carried out a flash mob in the school's parking lot! 

The purpose of this flash mob was to raise our current society's awareness about the importance of taking care of our environment.

As parents were also invited to the mentioned school event, it was the perfect day to carry out the project as there was going to be a huge crowd. Before the event, all the committee members had attended dance rehearsals.

On the day of the event, at approximately 7.45 a.m., all the committee members assembled in school to rehearse the whole dance routine for a couple of times before performing at the parking lot.

We were all set by 9.15 a.m.. Leo Tee Ke Hui was then proceeded to make an announcement to gather all the people present at the parking lot and the flash mob started straight after. 

The dance was splendid and people were joining in, even our one of our teacher advisor, Pn.Ng Yoke Chan and our school cheerleaders, Dynamitez.

Later on, we also gave our FREE recyclable bags to further support the objective of this project. The project was a success as we successfully expressed the importance of taking care of the environment through the flash mob. 

It was a memorable experience as we were able to relate importance of taking care of the environment to the society through actions.

Project: Ethology

Organizer Chairperson: Leo Lee Yennie
Reported by: Leo Tee Ke Hui
Edited by: Leo Chong Jia Sheng

On the 24th of June 2012 from 10.30 till 12.30 pm, an event called E-Thon was held in SMK Damansara Jaya. 

In order to play a part in saving mother nature, the Leos of SMKDJ have decided to organize a recycling project named 'Ethology'.

 The objective of the project was to cultivate the attitude of loving the environment in the students themselves, foster closer ties and friendship among Leos, raise funds for the school and decrease the production of plastic bottles and tins.

The project held was mainly to collect recyclable items namely plastics and tins only ( straws and other dirty stuff included ). 

The committee members arrived at school around 7.30 and made sure that everything and everyone was ready. Once ready, we walked around the school to collect all available plastic items and tins they could find, some even went through rubbish bins just to collect them. 

After few hours of collecting any recyclable items, we proceeded by rinsing the tins and plastics with water so that it would clean.

Alas, the clean collected items were brought to the recycling center by Leo Lee Yennie. We have managed to earn an amount of Rm 2.50.

Although we have only earned Rm 2.50, all of us did have a blast while carrying out this project and we have learnt the importance of working together as a team and to plan and startegize to make an event successful.

All the committee members really did enjoy helping out in this project and definitely gained much through it.

A trip to The Science Center w/leos, lions & orphans ( 28th July )

Report by Leo Tee Ke Hui 

The clouds dispersed unveiling the radiant celestial orb which casted its scorching rays unto the terrains below while wistful eyes of the participants from Persatuan Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat, Klang, brightened as they were greeted by an afternoon of amazing discovery and exuberant adventure in the Dinosaur Park at the National Science Centre of Mont Kiara. The eventful trip organized by the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya commenced from its onset just several meters outside the Aquarium where the Lions of Petaling Jaya, and the trio from the Leo Club of SMK Damansara Jaya namely Leo Solomon, Leo Hsiu Fen and Leo Ke Hui engaged the orderly participants in a simple and delightful ice breaking session as vivid photos of the interactive affair were actively taken. The caretakers cum drivers discussed some details with the organizers prior to the trip into the centre. 

At 3pm sharp, the participants were ushered into the entrance lounge of the building while age particulars were taken and an initial head count was meticulously conducted by the leader in the average group of 20 comprising 2 children, 5 teenagers and 13 adults, who goes by the lovely name of Trisha. 

While the Lion Christopher Yee engaged in the purchase of tickets and ensuring that each attendee was accounted for, the ebullient participants reveled in the enchanting aqueous interior designs fumed with explosive anticipation of venturing through the threshold of marine delight into the concrete caves of Mesozic wonders.

Once the ticketing affair was settled, fellow participants plunged through the marine underworld feasting their eyes on a cornucopia of majestic aquatic beings, up the swirling path around an atrium of scientific marvel experienced through various empirical means, through the gates encrusted with an array of prehistorical oral blades and into the Jurassic realm with prosthetic prehistorical creatures galore which are programmed to twitch a limb or two thus conjuring an atmosphere of Mesozoic frights enhanced with intermittent sound effects.

T

The tour was impeccably spearheaded by a savvy tour guide presumably a scientist by profession as his charisma and perspicacity exuded in that area humbled us all. The participants beamed at the astonishingly realistic features of the dinosaur models of various species. At every station, we Leos also passionately shared our knowledge and observation of the astounding species with the participants as we progressed smoothly. 

Pictures were taken amidst the crowd as the participants made attentive observations of every tangible entity the park has to offer. As the tour ended, the participants were rounded up and lead through the exit out to the corridor for another blissful photo taking session.

Subsequently, all participants exited the building and redeemed petite packets of snacks sponsored by the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya. We could spot a multitude of incandescent smiles carved effortlessly on the faces of every participant from the society during the final photo taking session which too indicated the end of the unforgettable trip.

It was truly a remarkable experience for the participants, the Leos of SMK Damansara Jaya and the Lions present as we have fostered not only friendship with the physically and mentally challenged participants but we Leos also learned valuable lessons from this group of strong, disciplined and determined physical and emotional warriors, surviving well to battle negativity inflicted on them of any cause while conquering all adversities with dignity and optimism.

That to us was more than inspiring, it's admirable and every bit worth investing our time in because those emotions can only be evoked when one bonds closely with these unique and guileless people with compassion and sympathetic joy. This project has motivated us to increase our involvement and organization of social services projects like that of today's and serve the less fortunate selflessly and unconditionally without a word of complain or condemn. The trip officially ended at 4.15pm as the Leos and Lions bid the participants farewell as the van they traveled in departed for 'home'.
