Leos entertain dyslexic, ADHD children
KUCHING: Members of Leo Club of SMK Batu Lintang recently visited a group of children aged between six and 12 years old with Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at the Sarawak Dyslexia Association centre here recently.
According to the Leo Club president Melanie Rita Agan, the purpose of
the project titled ‘ Tell Me I Can Fly’ is to increase awareness that Dyslexia and ADHD children can thrive with proper instruction and guidance.
During the visit , several activities were conducted such as an ice breaking ceremony, games and making of a wooden aeroplane.
“Most of the activities we did were aimed at building the children’s self- confidence and bring them joy,” said Melanie in a press statement yesterday.
The theme ‘ Tell Me I Can Fly’ was particularly evident in the activity
when children, who initially faced difficulties and confusion, managed to complete their aeroplanes with the careful instruction and patient guidance from the Leos.
Also during the visit , the children were presented with files, exercise books, pencils, rulers and erasers as well as goodie bags donated by the Leos from SMK Batu Lintang.
Besides gifts for the children, the Leo Club of SMK Batu Lintang also donated storybooks and puzzles to the Dyslexia Association of Sarawak.
