Celebration
Dear volunteers,
It's been a long time since we got together with the children in the journaling program ( Yellow House). This is just to remind you that the celebration ( last gathering) with the children will be held on June 28, Saturday between 9.30am and 12.30pm in Room C18-C20.
We are planning to have souvenirs, games and certificate presentation , not to mention some yummy food.
Most of all this will be an opportunity for you to meet and spend time with the children before we say our farewells. Do encourage them to keep in touch or better still , take down thier contact details ( we can provide these as well) so that you can keep in touch with them. Please give them encouragement and wish them well for their future as you will definitely have an impact on thier lives.
The organizing committee also needs your help ( all volunteers) for the preparation at room C18-C20 this Friday after 3pm . More information on this event will be available later this week.
Thank you
Ms Rajani

Dear all,
First we ( the teacher advisors of MADU Club) would like to thank all of you in making the last session (station games) a successful one!
Keep up the good work!

MADU Club/‘Yellow House’ journaling program
Session 4 – 19 April 2008
Venue: Classrooms (C18-C20/C22)
All volunteers to gather and group in room C18-20 by 9.00am. Groups
should prepare themselves for the upcoming session.
A) Arrival of children ( Some volunteers to remain near the café) ( 9.30 am -10.00 am)
B) Theme: Going through changes…… What I would like to be….
Warm –up activity
Group leaders will have to take charge of this first activity. Basically, the kids and the volunteers will each be given a sheet of paper. The kids and the volunteers are to write down what is the first thing that comes into their mind. Ask them not to think as this will make this game boring. Once they have written the first answer down, they are to fold the answer downward so that their answer is hidden. Then pass the piece of paper to the next person. Repeat the steps until all the blanks are filled with answers. Ask the first person to read the answer as according to this:
One day, I decided to be a/an _______________________.
I asked my friend and he said I should be a/an _________________________.
Confused, my teacher then said I should be a/an ___________________________.
Finally, I decide that I would love to be a/an __________________________.
Then group leaders can introduce the main activity which is ‘going through changes’
C) Explore and Create (10.00am – 11.15am)
Using news papers , mahjong paper and water colours & magic ink, volunteers are to dress children according to what they would like to be ( A policeman, business man (CEO), Politician, surgeon, or even superheroes).
All those who are dressed up would need to parade, other children be asked to guess the costume while one or more of the group members can comment on the costume.(Music can be played for accompaniment)
Tea break ( 11.15am -11.35 am)
D) Share ( 11.35am – 12.10am)
Volunteers are to ask the children about their ambitions and to help the children to write about it in the journals. The younger ones can draw if they

Hi from Tiffany
Hi All,
Thank you so much for your input. I have prepared 20 prizes (worth RM 39.90 each), so please keep those feedback coming in.
Also, my comments on the drama idea:
- It'll be good to have a narrator for the drama. That helps kids to improve their listening skill.
- Keep your script short and sweet.
- You can even involve the kids and make this drama interactive. When you make the script to be predictable, get them to fill in the voids in the script that you intentionally leave out. They love such moments.
- When planning the script, bear in mind to make some quizzes at the end so kids can answer. You'll also be able to gauge how much they listened and understand the drama.
- Remember to have lots of fun, as you guys always do!!
Cheers!
Tiffany T.
