Interact Club

Oh let the hand of friendship,
Be stretched across the sea,
To bring mankind together,
In one fraternity,
May love and understanding,
Prevail in one and all,
May brother come to sister,
To answer duty's call,
We're faithful Interactors,
Prepared to play our part,
To serve with love and needy,
With understanding heart,
When nations join with nations,
To build a brave new world,
Thus than the heart of children,
Shall sing the song of mirth,
Let not your feet be lagging,
But come and join our throng,
Let's fill this world together,
With friendship happy song!

Comm Serv Trip to Tmn Megah

Credits to Michelle Lim, Community Service Director and Vivian Yeunh, Asst Community Service Director for organising such a meaningful trip to the home of down syndrome children! :D

I knew some of us actually doubted and wasn't sure whether to go or not, because communicating with the down syndrome kids is never an easy task. Nevertheless, I'm sure those of you who went had a great time, right? (:

So, it was on the 24th of April 2009. We left school for Taman Megah, PJ at around 2.30pm. When we were there, we divided ourselves into groups to spend time with the kids. There were actually orphans living there, besides the down syndrome kids.





Hua Min was pulled by one of the kids into the middle of the crowd. :D

One of the kids showing their talents.

Talent time?

Zhao Shen complimenting him. Haha.

She smiled when they did that okay! :D

Kah Weng carrying one of the down syndrome kids.

Carmen Cheong and Sylvia accompanying the lil girl.

She would cry for Jiy Ni!

We then had a short colouring session. The kids had to colour Nemo, accompanied by the Interactors. (:


We didn't actually get the opportunity to spend time with all the kids, because some of them were sleeping, and some of them couldn't talk, walk or even move. =/ Some of the kids even needed physiotherapy.


After spending some time there with the kids, it was time for us to say goodbye.


Token of appreciation given to the owner of the house. (:


Jessica and Amran saying goodbye to one of the children there.

Steven doing the handshake with one of them.

Some of the pretty pictures taken. (:






Bidding her last goodbye before we went into the bus.


We definitely had a great time there because we've learned a lot from this trip. It wasn't just learning about how to communicate better with them the next time, but also to be aware of their presence and lend them a hand when they need our help.

Lend them a helping hand. You can make a difference! :D
