Adopt-a-school 2011: Phase 2 - SK Semban School trip to Kuching

In Phase 1 of this project, we visited SK Semban in May 2011 to send  them some much needed supplies. You can read more about the trip here, here and here.

Under Phase 2, our Club together with Batik Boutique Hotel arranged for a 3 days, 2 nights  school trip to Kuching for 18 of students from SK Semban - ranging from Primary 3 to 6 - from 21-23.9.2011. It was a fun-filled and educational trip full of 'first's for the kids. For many of them, it was their first trip to Kuching, first beach outing, first cinema movie, first ice-cream and more.

This school trip, would not have been possible without the help and support of many, many kind people. Their generosity with their time, resources and money has gone over and beyond what we could imagine. We would like to take this opportunity to thank:-

Donation to Tebedu Fire Victims

On 27th August 2011, fourteen shopshouses and a wooden house with 55 years of history in Tebedu old bazaar were completely burnt down 30 minutes after the fire started.  The fire was seen coming from the 7th shophouse and the cause is believed to be a short circuit.  The fire victims suffer a loss estimated at RM3 million.  

According to the Kapitan there, the shopowners will have to be located to the new Tebedu township located few kilometres away and the old bazaar will not be rebuilt.

On the morning of 4th September 2011, the Lions in Region 1 led by Region Chairperson Ln Peter Ong made a trip to the old bazaar to hand over the donation for the fire victims to Kapitan Bong, with an amount of RM3,600 where RM2,000 is from District 308-A2 Foundation and the remaining from some Lions Clubs in Region 1.  Our club made a contribution of RM200.
