Blood Drive 2014

Leo Club of SMKDJ would like to invite you to our 2014 Blood Drive this coming 14th of September, held in cooperation with Pusat Darah Negara (PDN) at the 1st floor of Tropicana City Mall (infront Papa's Cafe)!

  WHY SHOULD I DONATE BLOOD? 
 Safe blood saves lives and improves health. Blood transfusion is needed for: 
 1) Women with complications of pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancies and haemorrhage before, during or after childbirth; 
2) Children with severe anaemia often resulting from malaria or malnutrition; 
3) People with severe trauma following accidents; and many surgical and cancer patients. 

 It is also needed for regular transfusions for people with conditions such as thalassaemia and sickle cell disease and is used to make products such as clotting factors for people with haemophilia. There is a constant need for regular blood supply because blood can be stored for only a limited time before use. Regular blood donations by a sufficient number of healthy people is needed to ensure that safe blood will be available whenever and wherever it is needed. Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person — the gift of life. A decision to donate your blood can save a life, or even several if your blood is separated into its components — red cells, platelets and plasma — which can be used individually for patients with specific conditions.

When the school revamped all of the boards in our school for the upcoming Form 1 orientation, we took this opportunity to redesign our board. We took over the new board in the tunnel, enabling our members to have a good view of the board for information and notifications, while our previous board was in a restricted location. We redesign it to look like the popular social network, Facebook as most of our members are familiar with the layout. The parody design was called “Leobook”. After rearranging all the necessary parts, we started pasting it up piece by piece. The final outcome was just like what we expected.

The members were divided into 4 groups consisting of 4 members and a group leaderwho is responsible in receiving calls at time intervals from the Organizing Chairperson, Leo Loo Yuin Teng regarding about their progresses

       At 8.00am, the members embarked on their journeys with their cleaning equipments and toolsfollowing the given maps with their specific routes in the two areas and a list of appointments of the residents.

       The members enjoyed themselves and bonded closer among their group members as they had fun and had a chance to gather and work together. Helping the residents clean the exterior of their houses had put a smile on their faces because we have lighten their shoulders with the exterior house chores and had proven that youths like us are willing to lend a hand to the community for a good cause.

        At 1.40pm, everyone gathered at a park in the Ss22 residential area for further instructions by Leo Loo Yuin Teng.

       The event ended at 2.00pm where the membersreturned to school and went home happily with a smile on their faces despite feeling exhausted because of the opportunity given to work together and to have achieved the objectives of the event.

On 21 of October 2013, the first day of the mural painting project, members of Leo Club SMK Damansara Jaya gathered at Bilik Kokurikulum 2 at 2.30 in the afternoon. They were given briefing and work was distributed among the members. On the first day, about eight members including the organizing chairperson attended. The mural painting was only halfway done before time was up and everyone had to leave. On the next day, 22/10/2013, members again gathered at Bilik Kokurikulum 2 at 2.30. Around eleven members came on the second day including the organizing chairperson. The members manage to paint more of the wall nicely and also quickly. On the last day of the project which was on 23/10/2013, around seven members including the organizing chairperson attend. Fortunately, we manage to finish up the mural earlier. At the end of the project, the Bilik Kokurikulum 2 wall now looks better and more colourful. The members who attended had done a great job painting and drawing the mural although the colours were limited, they manage to pull it off.
