2011-12-28T22:39:00.000-08:00

Hi LEOs, here we go again. This is another community service organisedby LEO Club of INTI International University.This time round, we went to ZooNegara to serve to environment by being one-day volunteers on 5^thNovember 2011. A total of 43 volunteersfrom INTI IU were involved in this volunteering event. After almost one andhalf hour journey to Zoo Negara, we arrived at 7.45AM which is just 15 minutesbefore our volunteering session begins. We were greeted by the friendlyzookeepers for a short briefing. The zookeepers divided the volunteers todifferent exhibits so that we can help them in the exhibits. The volunteerswere divided into exhibits like elephants, giraffes, birds, reptiles, bears,savannah park, apes, research and development centre and many more.

Thevolunteers assisted the zookeepers to do the daily routines at the exhibits.The first task for many volunteers was to clean the cages of the animals. Somewere asked to sweep the surroundings, and some washed the cages of animals. Thetypes of work vary with different exhibits. After the cleaning process, thevolunteers were asked to feed the animals. That was the last part of the dailyroutine. The volunteering session which started at 8AM with two an hour breaksfinally ended at 4PM. All of us were so exhausted by the time it ended. Butsomehow, we still had some energy to walk around the whole zoo before wegathered to depart. The zoo was huge. We literally had to look at signboardsevery single time we want to make a turn. That huge, it was. We departed ZooNegara and reached INTI around 5.30PM.

Themain reason behind this community service is to instill love and increasecompassion for animals. It’s part of our duty as humans to care for animals,and this is a perfect opportunity for LEOs to work closely with animals and toknow exactly how animals are treated. LEOswere given a chance to gain new experiences because not often, we volunteer atzoo. Although it was a sweaty and tiring experience and for some, a gross one,we still had a great time being real close with the animals and experience aday knowing what’s a zookeeper’s life like. With this, LEO Club would like tothank all the volunteers for their contributions and involvement in this event.We’re glad that we had a group of energetic and lively volunteers.

CERVICAL CANCER AWARENESS TALK

2011-12-28T22:21:00.000-08:00

On the 2^nd of November, 2011 (Wednesday)from 4pm to 5pm, Leo Club of INTI International University had held a CervicalCancer Awareness Talk at Seminar Room II, INTI International University. Themain objective of the talk was to raise the awareness of better cervical careamong the female staff members and also the female students in INTIInternational University.

Ourmain speaker, Ms. Amy of Winalite Global Sdn. Bhd.(creator of Love MoonSanitary Pads), was invited to give a talk regarding the importance of bettercervical care and the risks of not doing so. Most of the participants werefemale and altogether there were 35 participants. Some of them were male.

Ms.Amy had given the talk in a slightly humorous yet alarming tone. The talk wasvery informative as some of the cases discussed and highlighted in the talk arebecoming more and more common among the female communities. Many of theparticipants were unaware of the risks of neglecting proper cervical care untilthey were informed about it during the talk. Therefore, many of them havegained a lot through the talk.

Afterthe talk has ended, some of the participants stayed to consult Ms. Amy, as sheis a professional in Biogenetics. They consulted her questions and problemsregarding personal hygiene for ladies. Of course, they were highly satisfiedand pleased with her factual and informative advice.

Conclusively,the event had succeeded in achieving its main objective. I hope that more andmore people will pay attention to the risks of cervical cancer. It should notbe a problem to be ashamed of when brought up for discussion as cervical canceris the No.2 killer in the country for females. Regardless being a guy or girl,we all should work together in protecting ourselves or our female familymembers and friends as well.

Yours in LEO Spirit,
