BPRM Indoor Games Competition 2011

TO ALL LEO CLUB MEMBERS.
Some of you may have heard/or are already helping out with the BPRM Indoor Games Competition 2011 in MCKL. I've just spoken to Phoebe, and we are planning to partner them and help out with the above event.
The details of the Indoor Games Competition 2011 are as follows:

Date: 12th November 2011 (Saturday)
Time: 9a.m.-4p.m.
Venue: MCKL
Number of people: 200+ participants and 65+ volunteers.
Participants are the Myanmar refugees (age from 5-18) and Myanmar teachers. They are from various schools for refugees in Malaysia.

BTW, this event is recognised as part of your mandatory 10 hour COMMUNITY SERVICE.
The LEO Club will be organising more game booths for the children, sponsoring prizes for the competition, and help with out the arrangement of the tables and chairs in the hall prior to the event.
The Mynmar children are refugees registered under the United Nations. Malaysia is similar to a transition phase for them. They will remain in Malaysia, until the United Nations ships them off to other countries-- like the US or Australia.
Basically most of these refugees are oppressed by Malaysians, especially those in authority. They are subject to various forms of oppression such as caning, detention, extortion and so on.
As the LEO Club is a service club, we strongly believe in giving back to the community. As such, we will try to help out these Mynmar refugees, and show them love and respect. 
If you are interested in joining this project, please notify Leo Christal Wong from A1101 preferably, or one of the other board members. Please give me your names ASAP. Thanks! :)

With much love, the LEO board of directors.
