We did not did not bring about world peace, neither did we reverse global warming nor reduce poverty in the world. We the Rotary Club of Sri Petaling did not do any of that, but we managed to bring joy and laughter to a group of young children from various orphanages in town, at least for this one day, and we are proud of it. Like our PDG Ken Khoo mentioned in his speech, the festive season is not only about receiving gifts and well wishes, it is also about giving. This children party was just a small present we gave to the children, to show them that there are people out there who cares.
Quoted from Rotary Club of Sri Petaling :) That was really meaningful. You guys really made a LOT of children happy that day, you even made us, all 6 of us experienced things we never did.
The ones that attended were Interactor Char Nie, Int. Chee Hoe, Int. Edmund, Int. Aaron, Int. Christopher and Int. Char Lie. Sorry to those who wanted to come, but there weren't enough seats. And, thank you so much Rotarian Ivy for fetching all of us there!
The interactors were there at 1U early, we waited for the arrival of the special guests, the adorable kiddos :)
we were asked to help tie that string on their wrists. That's Aaron by the way! :D We also noticed that there were three different versions of tees that were given to them and they were between 6-12 ages only.
This very smart rotarian prepared clips for the little girls and they were all fighting for it, haha.
Interactors very busy, huh. :p
Interactor CharNie looking very happy.
after that, they were brought to Starship Galatica :D
and then, to burgers king! thanks a lot to them because they sponsored the burgers to these kids and also to us, interactors :D and it was delicious!
this kid played the guitar to everyone while they were busy eating, and received a lot of claps!
then, the interactors performed.
the kiddos showing their talent. they received a lot of attentions by the shoppers and passers-by on that day, everyone amazed at them.
finally, the last show that day was by 1U itself, it was a musical play about an old man who didn't like christmas and an angel appeared showing him the meaning of christmas.
Rotarian Khoo handing out goodies to the kiddos!
and that is all that happened on that eventfuld day! everyone went home with a smile even us.
That definitely was the true meaning of Christmas :)
