Christmas Cheers with Myanmar Refugees and Rotary


A Community Project by RC Metro KL
We were ushered in by a very friendly and hospitable Myanmar teenager.

Timetable at the learning centre


The Myanmar kids would come here daily for their lessons conducted by volunteers.


Board games and books


More books.


Always the busiest place - the kitchen


The centre is located a few blocks away from Times Square


Showing Fai where she came from.

Sophia said that she travelled for 7 days in a car with her mother and 3 siblings from Yangon.


Sound system crew



Dancing to Feliz Navidad


Singing a catchy, traditional folksong


Fashion show


Fancy moves were included


After a comic routine by a clown that had the children in stitches, it was balloon sculpting time.


Games to win a packet of sweets and chocolates.
It was organised by the older kids at the centre


Yummy traditional Myanmar food


One of the Rotarians got his friend to demonstrate ice carving.

His tools


Starting with a chain saw to slice away slabs of ice and covering the audience in ice shavings.


Playing with the ice blocks that were sawn off


Ean made a friend


They decided throwing stones into drain was a better pastime than looking at a man hacking at a block of ice


Last few touches


Done!
The Master ice craver is keen to impart his knowledge and would be setting up an ice carving society in Malaysia.
