After setting everything right...

Contributed by PE Feldman

A Rotaract year has left you high and dry at lightning pace. It has certainly made a crashing impact on all individuals involved. Time was filled with happiness, joy, fun, laughter, excitement and rewards. To be able to experience so much fun with once strangers in our lives was something unthinkable. To be able to make so many friends within a year was hardly possible. At times, we were hit with stress and challenges.

Unknowingly, these things have made those souls who took up the hardship so called “invincible”. President Toh has indeed set everything right, taking the initiative to lead the once vulnerable club to now a high flying one. Those who had experienced it need no further explanation; those who had not, you already know where to find us by reading this article. He might look like malnutrition lawyer wearing flowery red pajamas pants, but only a few can out-talk him when he makes a stand. The one thing that one may successfully overpower him is DOTA, so President Toh, Gambateh!

With a club well equipped with fighters capable of taking the whole Klang town (Currently, only that capacity due to inadequate manpower… aiming for the whole world), President Toh will be passing me the baton by the end of the month. Being supersede to “Set Everything Right”, the incoming theme will be adopting a journey back to school days.

Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean that our meetings will be classroom style; president will be holding a cane or even cute girls wearing skirts (maybe a little resemblance of individuals getting fined for being late). The coming theme will be filled with the essentials of life, learning. Learning will be cultivated into all activities organized by the club, regardless avenue. Project managers not only organize a particular activity for the fun of it, but will also look into educating the participants with knowledge and purpose of executing that project. One has to realize the significance of the project for it to be meaningful.

A person can always group a number of people and organize a visit to the orphanage, but if the group has prior briefing on the background of the orphanages, i.e. abused children, they will be more affectionate dealing with those children. Likewise, if the club organizes a paintball event and not brief about the essentials of teamwork, the teams might end up playing inefficiently without an aim. We should strive to teach target participants as fun and as effective possible to create awareness.

And so, fellow members and guests,
