MIRI: Three Leo Clubs and two Lions clubs of Miri Mandarin and Miri Hosts joined hands to bring Christmas gifts for 56 children in Miri.

The donation worth RM2,000  for the special children of  PDK  /Pibakis was to commemorate International Leo Service Day which falls on Dec 5, said spokesperson Diana Yeoh.

“This  project was  done in collaboration with Parkson (Miri) and the Lion and Leo clubs to thank Parkson Shopping Mall management for giving the opportunity  for the public to share and care for the special children,” she said.

Project  joint chairpersons Feylyana Elvy Lusen from Leo Club of Riam Road Secondary School, Lydia Asong Warbrick  from Leo Club  of Kolej Tun Datu Tuanku Haji Bujang and Chua Sing Yii from RIam Institute of Technology  said it was a rewarding experience and hard work.

“After several meetings stretching  over a month, we  spent  a whole day  shopping and wrapping up  gifts for the  special children.

“The project was tiring  but the  thought of the  happiness of the PDK children as they open up their presents motivates  us  to  sacrifice our time and  energy.
