Trip to Setiu Wetlands

After a whole semester of hard work it was time to indulge in some entertainment! A trip to the Setiu Wetlands was the perfect getaway. The sand, sea and palm trees provided the perfect holiday feel. In order to indulge in the culture of Malaysia members were taught to make kites and a local delicacy known as Kerepek Pisang. Members were forced to stay on there toes, as even at night there was an agenda. Turtle watching! The three day trip was an exciting finish to the semester and an amazing start to the holidays.

Sungai Chilling Trek

Re-living your childhood by wading through mud and water is always fun. The trip to Sungai Chilling took place on the 28th of April 2012. Leo members met up at Monash bright and early (7: 30 am is wayyy too early!) to car pool our way to SC. The trek involved crossing 6 streams holding bags over our heads, dropping slippers into strong currents, tripping over thorny vines and falling into the water with resounding splashes. 2 hours into the hike and we were there! splashing about in ice cold water has never been more pleasant. after spending an hour at the waterfall, we started the trek back and got back exhausted and drenched about 1 and a half hours later. All in all, an amazing experience and who better to share it with than all the members in Leo Club of Monash Malaysia!

Humanity week

Humanity week this semester was a larger affair than usual with an NGO fair being added to the list of events. Leo Miyuru headed the event, supported with a committee without whom this event would not have been a success.

The event consisted of a blood donation drive held in association with Pusat Darah Negara, an eye screening event (ISEC), a health screening event (NKF) and the NGO fair which was made up of four NGOs namely Pink Triangle Foundation, Women's Aid Organization, Amnesty and Change Your World.

Humanity week garnered a good response with 207 people donating blood, 98 people getting health screenings, 89 people getting eye screenings and Pink Triangle raising over RM 1900.
