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,

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.

What a scintillating Meeting@27July'10!

Dear Indrahanians & DTM Sivalingam, Last evening, Thian Seng came first, followed by Victor Ong to set up the meeting room. Soon after, the others trooped in – and very soon, we were ready to begin. Kay Wong’s presidential address is always a delight to hear because she uses stories to draw us in; stories that make us ponder and reflect. And when she’s finished with her narration, a lesson will have been imprinted in our consciousness! Our Immediate Past President and Area B2 Governor, Han Lee Hwee took control of the meeting as TME, and he too launched another short story. I tell you – we do have engaging storytellers at Taman Indrahana and they are all talented. And then we had Alice Ong in her familiar role as Humor Master. I have often found her to be an interesting humorist – there’s something about her I cannot put my finger on. Perhaps it’s that gleaming sparkle in her eyes? Or her mirthful demeanor? Or her chirpy smile? Whatever it is – I sense this welcomed warmth i...

Voice of Indrahanians - My 2 Cents

The toastmaster club was a chance incident that Patrick Daya over the course of a dinner spoke to me about. It was sometime in Oct’08. I have heard about Toast Masters Clubs long before this but had never had the opportunity of having one of my friend/colleague actually being actively involved in one. So out of curiosity I asked him if he could bring me along. He kindly did. As we were both from the same office building, I trailed him to the venue. It was a great first time experience – my first visit as a guest, in November 08. Besides Patrick was really a very solicitous host, Jen Wong, Jade, Choi Woon and Yeoh went out of their way to make me feel at home. The speeches that day was from May and Patrick. I remembered how supportive and nurturing the environment was. There was no sense of threat and comments/critique were given sincerely and received good naturedly. It was a very positive experience indeed. I attended another 2 sessions, this time bringing my ...
