Purpose of the Overseas Community Service Project and Twinning Programme
• To forge friendships and strengthen LEO spirit with overseas Leo Club
• To gain a wider and more perspective view of the less fortunate.
• Provide our Leos with the opportunity to learn about other countries volunteering scene
• Provide our Leos with the opportunity to learn from an overseas club and its culture
• Create and foster a spirit of understanding among people of the world

We will be working with Children’s Protection Society (a children shelter).
What we intend to do is that: (depending approval from the shelter)

Firstly, we would collect story books, school books, etc. before the project. We would bring the books over with us and donate it to the shelter. We want to go there and let the child have a wonderful and enjoyable day, but that is only our secondary objective, our main objective is to pass on some basic communication and educational skills to them. We also hope to pass on to this children our volunteerism spirit, so that in future, it will be their turn to help other children in risk. We hope to achieve that by teaching them as much as we can with the books and with our interaction with them.

Secondly, we would be involve in beautifying their living condition. We would be doing some repairs to broken wall, give the shelter a new colour, Craft works with the children (as we want the children to feel attach, so we would get them involve in making their shelter more beautiful), Cleaning of the shelter, gardening work.

Thirdly, we will also be assisting in the children’s hair cut and to further create a bond with the children, we would be cooking and dinning with the children.

Lastly, to mark a beautiful end to this Joint Project, we would be putting up a performance for the children to enjoy.

We hope to create a fun, inspiring and memorable experience for these children.
