First Recycling Activity with Tzu-Chi

This acitivity was attended by most of our key officers because we were determined to get along with the situation before letting our B.O.D. and members to help out in this recycling activity. We want them to come and help out seriously instead of not knowing what to be done and standing there aimlessly. Therefore we are going to enable them to join this activity in the month of October and so on after getting along this situation. The recycling project was actually held in the whole Batu Pahat but we are just in the Station of Taman Bukit Perdana. At 8.00a.m., two of us were asked to help out in Taman Batu Pahat where lacked of people to help out with the transportation from Tzu-Chi Volunteer. At the same times, the rest of them were helping out at the Perdana Station. We learnt how to categorize the items into many types including, metal, white metal, plastics, plastic bags, electrical appliances, papers, and more. The Perdana Station received very much contributions from the citizens there. However, the Taman Batu Pahat Station received a total of 3-tons of clothes approximately. The person-in-charge of Tzu-Chi Association showed his gratitude to us and taught us about the virtues and some regulations of being polite to others. We were all fascinated about the new thing learnt. In this acitivity, we were not only helping those in need by committing in the recycling project, we also got to learn about the moral values. The effort was worthwhile.

Some of the Leos were distributing flyers in the Summit Parade, whereas others were selling tickets and also selling items at stalls. Leos were not being encouraged to stay there for the whole day as they would just be exhausted for overtiring themselves. Therefore, throughout the 4 days, Leos were carrying out their duty by turns. They helped enthusiastically in the activity. Lions were very happy with our performance as all of us had behaved very well in the 4 days of helping. All of us know that this activity was tiring but the feeling of helping others was always served as a medicine for us, that made us to be energized again.

After 4 days of hard working, the incoming directors said that they hardly have time for such a great activity and they really appreciated it and also said that they do not regret in joining this club. Ernest Hoe, club President, sent a message to all of us as he was very satisfied with the performance of all of us throughout the activity and he wished that we could show such commitment in the coming month activity.
