The Leo Youth Service Awareness Camp took place for its second run this November. Organised by the Leo Club of Singapore Metropolitan in collaboration with Clementi Student Care Service, the LEOYSA camp was a 2 day camp aimed at empowering youths to take on leadership roles and partake in the planning and execution of their very own service learning projects.
Let's take a look at the exciting activities that were lined up for the youths!
Our very enthusiastic facilitators who volunteered their entire weekend for the camp, being there before everyone else, and leaving after everyone else.
Team bonding games #1 : Balloon Tower.
Youths enthusiastically unleashed their creativity to build the tallest balloon sculptures! Some youths were indeed proud of their sculptures at the end!
Team bonding game #2: Secret Whispers!
What were they whispering about!?? haha
They were passing down a message in their lines!
With the help of their facilitators, youths came together for a very serious brainstorming and discussion of suitable service learning projects to embark on for the next day (day 2 of camp).
Out-on-the-field! Youths went out to the neighbourhood (Clementi area) to carrry out their projects!
It was a daunting experience for many youths as it was their first time interacting with so many strangers in public. Many youths felt shy, embarrassed, tired, brave, out-going. Most importantly, they brought smiles to the faces of many people that day! :)
Aging simulation exercise where youths got to experience first-hand the difficulties that elderly might face when performing basic day-to-day activities.
This briefly sums up the very enriching 2 day LEOYSA camp! We hope that these youths will bring with them what they have learnt through this camp and inspire more people on service learning.
Thank you to all our volunteers, social workers and organisers for the effort put in. It was no easy feat executing this camp.
We would like to commend our two very capable organisers, Leo Jing Yi and Leo Zuda of this year's camp! Moreover, it is our newcomer, Leo Zuda's maiden project that he undertook. Good job! :)
Last but not least, we would like to thank Fusion Spoon for its constant support towards our community service projects! Thanks for the yummylicious lunch sponsored for the camp!
