Social Welfare Project - Mdm. Gan A. Leong & Li Jang

OC Katherine met single parent Mdm. Gan A Leong 2 months ago and learned that Mdm. Gan needed professional guidance for her 13-year old daughter Li Jing who she feels is suffering from inferior complex and does not show any interest in her studies. After much deliberation at our Lions meeting, members felt that guidance should be from a professional level. With the assistance of Lion Jessie, we managed to contact Ms. Barbara Yen.

Ms. Barbara Yen obtained her qualification in education from the College of Preceptors, UK. She later trained as a medical social worker at the University of Singapore in 1972. Subsequently, she received her continuing education from the Schools of Social Work, Indiana University and Pittsburgh, USA, and University of St. Mary, Canada. She spent 25 years with the University of Malaya Medical Centre, serving in various departments including Medicine, Paediatrics, Primary Care Medicine, Psychological Medicine, Eye and ENT. She has experience working on issues of abused children, sexual assault, sexual harassment, domestic violence, mental illness, disabilities and HIV/AIDS.

Since 1967 till presently, she has been a committee member or a volunteer to about 15 NGOs and has helped draft training modules for the Ministries of Health, Education and Women and Family Development. Her passions are in human and animal rights, environment conservation and world peace through Buddhist teachings and inter-faith understanding. Presently, she is an adviser and counsellor to the Buddhist Gem Fellowship Counselling Unit, Kuala Lumpur. She helps to organise its para-counselor training course as well as its marriage education programs.

Sunday 3 July 2011, President Katherine with Lion Dr Karen Lee accompanied 13- year old daughter Li Jing for a consultation session with Ms. Barbara Yen at a coffee shop in Tropicana City Mall, Petaling Jaya. The ambience made her opened up very quickly especially Ms. Yen started talking Cantonese to her. Below is Ms. Yen’s opinion.

Presenting Problem:

School refusal. Given reason - some teachers are fierce. Now that her mother has transferred her to a different school, she is still not attending. School performance is poor. Grades are mostly Cs and Ds

Basically, she expressed that:
- she is bored n lonely. 2 older sisters are married n does not visit often, older brother is in college.
- Father passed away when she was 4 years old.
- Mother works at a bookshop n on weekends, works as a sales promoter.
- She gets home rather late. (need to clarify some of the facts given by her)
- no one to turn to if she is unable to do her home-work
- has no internet
- handphone out of order but has house-phone

My observation:
- latch key child
- no one to see that she gets up in time to go to school or see that she reaches school.
- She takes an LRT n often ends up at shopping complexes
- looking for love n attention. She is in a very vulnerable situation - can easily be lured into vice or run away with someone who offers her 'love'
- Risk of being raped is high
- no proper meals

She turned to stray cats near the flat where she lives by feeding them. This gives her some meaning in life. She has some interest in music, swimming n is also attending taekwando class. She strikes me as an introvert but a likeable n caring person.

Plans
To see mother:
- to help her gain insight into child's needs
- child's vulnerability n risks
- provide her with support
- make plans for child

Recommendations for child:
- get her to school by school bus
- pay family nearby to 'baby-sit' her (provide her with lunch n see her up the sch. bus. She is in afternoon school. Mother would be home when she arrives home around 8pm
- tuition for her weak subjects
- mother to have one rest day so that she can have quality time with child. If possible, other siblings should be encouraged to visit often.
- If all these fail as a last resort, after discussing with her the options, perhaps temporary stay in a children's home until she is a little older n safe to be left on her own.

It will be good if Lions can temporary 'foster' her by helping her with school aid, tuition fees so that mother does not have to work so hard. I believe their flat needs some repair too. A safe, clean n cosy house will make her want to stay home more.

I believe Dr Karen has offered to take her swimming. That will be good. Perhaps can include her when here are parties for children's home. Case can be reviewed once her brother is earning. Shall give further feed-back after i have seen mother.

With warmest regards,
Barbara

District Governor 2011-2012 : Lion Shawn Lee Kean Song with 90.85%

1st Vice District Governor 2011-2012 : Lion Tan Swee Kok with 82.92%

2nd Vice District Governor 2011-2012 : Lion Lee Boon Hoe with 60.12%

Personally for me, the highlight of this Convention is all the speeches by the eloquent Past International President Kajit Habanananda, whether its 5 mins or 20 mins am truly entranced by his charisma. The one that stands out most in my mind is when he spoke on our Lions Logo "Proud of our Past, Confident of our Future". He added that we got to look far beyond the two faces on the left and right. The "L" in the centre which denotes the Lions in each of us is equally important. Majority of us need to find ways to fill up the "hollow cavity" in each of us, to be a more respectable Lion.

50th MD 308 Lions Convention shall be held from 19-22 April 2012 at The Pullman Kuching as the Convention Hotel, however delegates from 308B2 shall be at Grand Margherita Hotel, Kuching.

Getting enough blood supply during festivals and school or college holidays are especially challenging because donors are often away on holiday or celebrating with their families back in their hometowns, and organizers are less inclined to hold blood donation drives during those times. So Zone 17 Lions Clubs comprising Lions Club PJ, PJ Metro, PJ Mutiara & PJ City decided to perform their fair bit to maintain a consistent blood supply for the National Blood Bank at Tropicana Mall, PJ on 14 Nov 2010.

The first benefit one gets from donating blood is the joy from performing an altruistic act, which is difficult to explain physiologically because it is more psychological and emotional - basically, you would feel good. Thanks to Lion Poh Ling being our sole able donor from the Club.

The event was made possible by Newage Sdn Bhd for donating 200 each of Cuticura Orange Sanitizers, Freeman Guava Scrub, Freeman White Grape Body Lotion & Freeman Hand Firming Lotion and 200 bottles Oxygen water from 02 Plus Sdn Bhd.

Leo Advisor Irene Hoi & Alternate Leo Advisor Jamie Chen accompanied 21 Leos of Monash University on 21 November 2009 on their project - Visitation to Madam Kang Gaik Kee's shelter for over 200 dogs in Kamunting, Taiping.

Objectives : Provide appropriate platform for University students to render services to the community and encourage healthy social interaction amongst all participants and Madam Kang Gaik Kee at Kamunting.

The ones that were afraid of dogs were selected to clear the outer compound by collecting rubbish whilst the others went in to Madam Kang’s inner compound to clear the dog’s manure, rake leaves and clear the clogged drain. After an hour and half of hard work, Madam Kang invited everyone to eat and collect rambutan fruits that were growing all over her area. Soon, by around 3pm, we said our goodbyes.

The Leos made an overnight trip therefore they were able to visit the Night Safari Taiping Zoo and Sungkai Hot Spring the following day.

Thanks once again to Lion Josephine’s friend for sponsoring 80kg dog food. Club spent RM120 for this project.

SSMH FAMILY DAY "1 MALAYSIA 1 FAMILY"

The Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped Selangor & Federal Territory was established in 1984 by a group of parents with severely disabled children who could not gain admission into the special institutions that catered for children with disabilities. The society has its own day-care and training centre and is staffed with 5 full-time teachers, an occupational therapist and a physiotherapist all of whom provide training to equip the children with simple communication and daily living skills in order to give them some measure of independence in their lives. Fifteen children are enrolled for daily training from Monday to Friday. The centre also runs a special Saturday morning session for disabled youths and young adults. There are about 11 young adults attending the Saturday classes where the focus is on communication and activities aimed at helping them become more self-reliant. These activities include making their own drinks and sandwiches, doing household chores like sweeping the floor, and arts and crafts.

Saturday November 14^th 2009, The Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped, Selangor and Federal Territory (SSMH) today held its annual family day at its Training Centre for Special Children. In line with the national slogan promoted by our Prime Minister, the family day selected “1 Malaysia 1 Family” as its theme. The event was held on its premises located at No 16 Jalan 21/11 in SEA Park, Petaling Jaya attended by President Nelson with members Jamie, Jennifer & Jessie.

SSMH President Puan Fadillah Yakin described the annual event as the society’s year-end ‘report card’ where families, volunteers and individuals, and corporations who have lent support to the society during the year come together to experience for themselves what progress the special children under its care have made throughout the year. Also present at the event were representatives of organizations that have contributed to the centre throughout the year. Amongst them were Japanese Women’s Association (JWA), GCH Retail (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (GIANT), Watson’s Personal Care Stores Sdn Bhd, Mudajaya Corporation Berhad, CIMB Foundation, Glenealy Plantations (Malaya) Berhad, Dato Dr. Wong Sai Hou of Klinik Wong and The Otomotif College (TOC).

During the event, guests were treated to various performances by volunteers while teachers, parents and children of the centre also entertained the guests. In the spirit of One Malaysia, these performances were multicultural. Guests were then entertained to a magic show performed by Mr. Cheah Yoon Weng, a veteran magician and other performances including a Yo-Yo demonstration by the Malaysian Professional Yo-Yo Club members arranged by Lion Jessie, Line Dancing by Fun Stompers and a special performance by the Lions Club of P.J. Metro members. Games were also organized for the special children with each game designed to demonstrate specific movements for the child.

In her welcome address, Organising Committee Chairperson Mrs. Evelyn Chan, who is also the Society’s Council Member in charge of coordinating the Parents-Support Group, said that the society is fortunate to have a very active group of parents whose care and concern for the development of their children have made it more meaningful to hold events such as the family day. The event showcases some of the skills the children have been taught at the centre and it is indeed most gratifying to see the progress some of these children have made over the years. Their hope is that parents continue to support the activities of the centre as caring for the special children here requires good cooperation and teamwork between the staff and the parents and other caregivers to ensure that the skills the children learn at the centre are continuously practiced throughout the day.

To organize the event the society received the support of volunteers, parents, individuals and corporations who donated cash or products. Contributors included Nestle Products Sdn Bhd, Mr. Khoo Ah Seng from Chop Chuan Seng the SSMH neighbourhood grocery shop, coffee outlet Starbucks and convenience store 7-11. The Club managed to raise RM1,100 for the training centre via King Hong (M) Sdn Bhd, Foo Ai Lin, Teoh Kui Hai & Choong Choon Moy. For more information on their training centre, Administrator Mr. Tham Keng Seng would gladly assist. Office 03-7874 6703 & fax number 03-7877 9886

Stealing people's time is a crime!!!

This month I want to talk to you about stealing. When we talk of stealing, we usually define it as the act of taking tangible things without the consent of the owner. But today, I want to talk to you about stealing in another context i.e. in relation to intangible things and in particular time. How many times have we seen people (I call them ‘time stealers’) coming late for a meeting for instance. With or without realizing it, these people are stealing the time of all those who were on time. The people who come on time are now ‘forced to waste’ it on meaningless activities like idle talk, whilst waiting for the meeting to begin. Another good example is when a VIP is late for the opening of a conference for instance. Let’s say there are five hundred people at the conference and the VIP is twenty minutes late. This amounts to stealing time to the tune of approximately 166 hours from everyone. That is a lot of time!

What I find most infuriating, from a management perspective is that these time stealers are encouraged because their actions are tolerated by statements like, "Lets wait for the latecomers", or "let’s wait until everyone is here". And through this tacit approval, organizations and managers are in a sense giving explicit permission for these time stealers to go on stealing. And because of this, all meetings, conferences, training etc continue to start late so as to allow these time stealers to steal even more time.

Importantly, by being late, these people are not only stealing other’s time but also showing disrespect and contempt for other people. If you are a time stealer, I really, really do hope that you will look at the whole situation from this new perspective and stop. And if you are in a management role, please ensure that you take action against these time stealers before ‘time stealing’ becomes a norm in your department/organization. Remember, stealing people's time is a crime!!! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Take care! Sharing from HEERA Training and Management Consultancy which I attended.
