Halloween Mocktail Party

We wanted to try out something new that would attract INTIANS attention and give them a chance to PARTY. Therefore, Leo Club of INTI IU had organized a Halloween Mocktail Party in conjunction with the theme “Party with the Dead”.

It was the very first Halloween Mocktail Party that organized by INTI IU Leo Club. It was opened for everyone including those who were not studying in INTI IU. The aim of organizing this event was to bring the relationships between the members and also the committees. Besides that, it was also aimed to raise funds for our next club event- Child Literacy. 

The event started from 7.30pm until 11.00pm on the 31^st of October 2011 which was the actual date of the Halloween. There was a free flow of snacks and drinks served to the people. Games, performances and open dance floor were prepared for them too. Various performances were prepared to entertain the people such as singing and magic preforming. We had awesome performances throughout the night. Our INTI IDOL, Celist and our VP of Activities, Kelvin Lee performances made the crowd to get into the party mood. Then, when the dance floor was open. BOOM. Most of us started to dance to the beats played by our DJ for the Night, LEO Derrick Ng.

The best part was that we managed to get our INTI students to wear costumes. We had Obama, Osama, vampires, nurses and so on. It was a successful event which brought a lot of joy and memorable moment for everyone. We are pretty sure that this kind of event will be organized more in the future. Hope more INTIANs will join us next time.

Child Literacy Project – Dive into a Book

Child literacy project themed “Dive into a Book” is another community service project organized by Leo Club of INTI International University. It was held on the 19^th November 2011, at Vinashini Home, Kuala Sawah, Negeri Sembilan. Vinashini Home is a home who adopts special kids who are mentally disable or have study difficulties. A total of 30 volunteers were involved in this event.

At 7.30am, all volunteers gathered in front of the Multi-Purpose Hall at INTI-IU. After a short briefing on what aspect we should notice and avoid when handling these special kids, we depart to our destination. All volunteers are divided into 2 groups, tutoring and library group. Tutoring group are the ones who tutor the kids. Library group are responsible to clean and arrange a library for the home.

At 8am, we depart from INTI-IU and reach there approximately at 8.30am. We were great by the friendly owner of the home. The owner and few workers guide the disable children into the activity hall and then our activity started. This is the first time the INTI Leos visited a home which have disable children. Therefore, everyone have no idea how to communicate and get close to them. But after a while, all the tutors manage to mix well with the kids. We prepared simple exercise, colouring, origami and some other activities for the children. All the children manage to participate well in our activity with the guide of the tutors.

As for the library section, the volunteers cleaned the home’s store room and turn it into a library. They move out all the stuff in the store room to another room. Then they sweep and mop the floor and wipe away all dirt and dust. After that, they move the book shelf and arrange the books into the book shelf. Besides, the volunteers also fix the athena onto one of the unused television. They also arrange all the computers, tables and chairs in the library. For the decoration part, the origami and colouring done by the children from the tutoring session were used. After our session with the kids end, all the volunteers helped out to clean the surrounding of the home. We depart for INTI-IU at 3pm once all our activity ends.

This Child Literacy Project is mainly organized to improve the understanding among underprivileged children and mentally disable children. The objective of this event is to increase the awareness about the importance of literacy among students by tutoring orphans. Leos gains new experience through this event because not often we get a chance to visit homes which adopt underprivileged children and mentally disable children. Although it was a tiring experience, however we still had a great time with all the children. Lastly, Leo Club would like to express our gratitude to all volunteers who spent one whole day with us in the home and make this event a successful one. Thank you so much!
