MIRI: The Leo Club of Riam Road Secondary School (RRSS) made the school proud by donating a whiteboard and a laminating machine to its library.
According to club president Chong Yee, the whiteboard cost RM481.50 and the laminating machine RM661.50.
“We are happy to be of help and service to the school in any way we can.
“The money came from the proceeds from the Leo Club stall during our school’s annual food fair in May and August and the monthly interclass old newspapers collection contest,” she told The Borneo Post yesterday.
Besides the whiteboard and laminating machine, the Leos also donated books, magazines, computers, sound system and book racks.
Chong Yee said the funds were also used to finance their Leo Garden, school landscape and canteen waste separation project.
The club is also involved in charity, such as treating the elderly at the Home for The Aged to sumptuous meals and presenting `ang pows’ to the special children at the Community-Based Rehabilitation Centre (PDK) in Piasau Camp, the less privileged rural schoolchildren, the Miri Methodist Home for Children and the ‘3R Centre’ of the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC), Miri Chapter.
RRSS chief executive officer Datuk Dr Fong Onn Min was pleased with the Leo Club’s keen interest and initiative in being responsible citizens.
“This is what the Leos’ prime objective is; to care for the plight of the less fortunate, and to offer the best they can to serve them,” he said.
Among those present to witness the presentation of the donations were RRSS principal Richard Liu Si Choong, Leo Club faculty advisor Diana Yeoh and assistant chief executive officer Chan Siew Ngo.
