Perhaps some of you may recall in some of our previous posts a project called 'Sharing Hearts, Sharing Hopes'.
The brainchild of Leo Joanne Wong, Sharing Hearts + Hopes first kicked off in October 2006 where we had organized a 'Charity@Movie: Orphans' Day Out' project for 30 young friends from 3 different orphanages at Cineleisure.
Lion Thomas, Lion Wong, Lion Soh from Lions Club of KL Cheras & KLCC Omega Leos who showed up with full-on support!
Leo Jessie & Leo Joanne having fun invading McDonald's for lunch with the kids after the movie!
Buoyed by the high of that smashing success, we recently convened together again on 4 March 2007 to jump-start Round 2 with a visit to Rumah Sayangan, one of the 3 orphanages!
Located at Taman Billion, Cheras, it was quite a challenge searching for parking as we had quite a good turnout of Leos, friends, and Lions from the Lions Club of Cybercare who were keen to join in the fun and good deeds!
Given the fact that it was held on a Sunday, and the fact that we just know how much most of us love our weekend lie-in on a Sunday, we were pleasantly surprised and grateful for the great show of support.
Asides from donating useful goodies from Unilever like shampoo, liquid detergents, and foodstuffs like peanut butter to Rumah Gembira, we also wanted to enjoy some fellowship with the kids and treat them to some yummilicious lunch!
The donated goodies & the delicious lunch treat!
Lunch was packed all the way from New Paris restaurant in SS2. Thank you Leo Joanne for going the distance! Talk about 山長水遠! [Literally translated: 'Over high mountains and long rivers'. Hee.]
Now the food we packed was a feast indeed! Cantonese fried noodles, Yong Chow fried rice, Xing Chow mee hoon! We even bought Kentucky Fried Chicken in case some of the kids had a yen for fast food instead!
So it was very gratifying to hear happy remarks on the food with "Thumbs up!", "Good!", and "Yummy!" coming from all corners of Rumah Sayangan. One thing is for sure though, and that is you can always count on New Paris to serve delicious food. Hehe! (^_~)b
Lunch over, while Leo Elaine Tham and Elaine Ang took the dirty dishes to task, it was time for some fun and games for the rest of us with the kids!
Somewhere along the way, the kids took to calling Leo Joanne, Auntie Joanne! Lol! What's more, there was a sudden 'workshop' teaching the kids how to smile and pose like a Japanese according to the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 10. (O_o)
Just.Don't.Ask. *shakes head*
Monkeying around before we said our good-byes!
In spite of some minor hiccups plus changes in dates and lunch arrangements, we all had a great time with the kids. We're so glad many volunteers came, and would like thank you all once more for your support!
We would also like to thank the people of Unilever who helped us buy Unilever products so efficiently, together with a special thanks to Leo Joanne's friend, Kok Foong for being kind enough to bring additional stuffs from Ridsect, Ambipur and Kiwi!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
We hope to see you guys again in our next visit to the other 2 orphanages!
*BIG HUGS Y'ALL!*
