Youth Leadership Program 30.11.2012-1.12.2012



Our club’s theme for this term is 'Going Beyond Limits' and the club has indeed managed to successfully organised a worthy project, the Youth Leadership Program. Although Taman Indrahana Toastmasters Club has been around for 28 years, yet last November was the first time such a program was ever carried out. Many experienced members graciously volunteered their expertise by being mentors and facilitators during the two days in helping the participants to craft speeches as well as mustering up the courage to speak in front of a crowd. Below are some inspiring emails that we have received from some of the parents.  



Dear organisors,



Thanks for putting up your good work. My husband, Mr Lim was there.  He called to inform me that he couldn`t believe it was his son, Brandon that was speaking on the stage. Brandon is happy that he attended this camp despite he was not too happy to go initially.

Cheers.

Dear Jade,



Just a quick email to thank you and your whole YLP organising team for running the training program. Really appreciate your time and efforts in doing this. My children (although forced to go) enjoyed their time.



Thank you.


Regards,




Leonard Yee



Hi, 



I'm Preetika's mom, Priya. I would like to thank all of you for such great effort in organising the leadership program recently. It was really amazing to see the potential of young children with great courage stand out to speak on their favourite topics. Well done to the organisers!



Is it possible to purchase the CD since I missed her entire speech on Saturday and where can I get it. Please let me know as I'm eager to see my daughter's speech. Looking forward to your reply.



Thanks,

 Priya



It certainly is very encouraging to hear such lovely feedback from the parents and I am sure that these remarks are enough to fuel our members desire to organize another program the next term so that many other children will be able to have the opportunity to improve their self confidence and leadership skills.

Ice Breaker Speech: Myself by Ang Poon Kenn

Good evening everyone, my name is Ang Poon Kenn, everyone calls me Ken. Today, the title of my speech is about Myself. As far as I could recall, me parents were not staying with me since I was 3 years old; they went overseas and started their new working life for some reason, and did not come back ever since. I'm staying with my grandmother, and she look after my elder brother, younger sister and me. I actually have not met my parents for more than 18 years and only communicate through the phone and social media. Can you imagine, 15 years of not seeing your own parents? 18 years of not having parents around the house, school and life. My grandmother take over my mother's role, she does all the housework for us. She takes care of us. My relative, they are not rich but they sponsor me for my education and pocket money. However, even though I have the love from my grandmother and relatives, I felt that I'm different from others. They have parents accompany them during...

Meeting on 27 October 2009

Dear Indrahanians, Greetings to you. Last meeting we had one of the most unusual Table Topics Sessions I've ever attended. It was conducted by Jen. She gave out a few topics & participants were supposed to tell us a lie based on those topics. Basically Jen wanted us to tell a Tall Tale. A tall tale is a story with unbelievable elements but told in such a way that it could be true. So you can believe it or not. During the session, you could tell who are the true liars (a.k.a. Dominic), those who can't a tell a lie in their honest-to-goodness life (a.k.a. Alice), those who try but didn't quite succeed (a.k.a. Dr Choong), and those who are probably true blue liars - like our guest Victor and our very own Yuan. For the record, Yuan won the Table Topics Award that night. Congrats to Yuan for being such a good liar! And kudos to Jen for such an entertaining session. Those of us who were present had a 'belly' good laugh. Anan gave his ice breaker speech. Those of you f...
