Carnival 2014: Walt Wesley

Carnival started off with our vice principal, Madam Pearl Moses slamming the gong to signify the beginning of a day filled with fun at every corner.

We had a variety of games and competitions like dunking machine, obstacle course, face painting, human foosball, dodgeball, hit the snowman olaf and many more. There was also a dedication song booth whereby students were allowed to dedicate songs to people of their choice.

A sale of old but new shirts from our previous events was also held. Shirts sold cost between RM 5 and RM 15 shirt. Needless to say, the shirts sold out quickly.

The day ended at 12.30 pm after which the Interactors started cleaning up along with the Form 3 members who were accepted into the club. Overall, the event was a huge success and both Interactors and non-interactors had a blast.

The Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School held it's 40th Annual Installation on the 26th of September with the theme 'Esprit De Corps'. The event was held in the school Chapel and we were honoured to have a few Rotarians as our guests of honour.

The event was kicked off with the 'Negaraku' being sung which was then followed by the Interact Song. Next, Mr Jeya Gobi, our beloved assistant vice principal gave his speech followed by Rotarian Elect President Hardeep Singh. The outgoing president, Int.

The video presentation consisted of a walk down memory lane with all the events we had with the outgoing members. 

After the video presentation, the incoming president, Int. Nikisya Toh gave her speech. The speech was followed the presentation of a certificate of recognition to the outgoing Form 5 Interactors for their hard work throughout their time in the club. There were also special awards such as 'Most Outstanding Interactor' and 'Most Caring Interactor' was awarded to Ong Kar Yan and Bethany Lim respectively. Following the presentation of certificates to the outgoing Form 5 Interactors, the incoming Form 4 Interactors were installed.

The Hunger Battle - 30 Hour Famine 2014 - " Kick Out Hunger "

30 Hour Famine 2014 - Kick Out Hunger!! 

The Official 30 Hour Famine 2014 Poster :) 

More than 100 students from Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur ranging from Form 2 to Form 5 starved together for 30 hours on the 5th and 6th of July. With the theme "Kick Out Hunger", our hunger warriors steeled their tummies for 30 hours for the greater good of others.

30-Hour Famine is a no food only water camp which gives campers a first-hand experience to the struggles faced by the less fortunate in the world we live in. By joining the camp, all proceeds from donations would be forwarded to World Vision Malaysia, which is an Evangelical Christian humanitarian aid, development, and advocacy organisation.

The event kicked off at 905am, where it is the official time for the fasting to begin. We had our opening 
opening ceremony  at 9:30 a.m., chaired by Guest of Honour President Elect of the Rotary Club 
KL DiRaja Dr. Hardeep Singh, Rotarian Wan Rasul, as well as Ms. Rachelle Gan, a representative of 
World Vision Malaysia. The event was officiated by Dr. Hardeep Singh, followed by a brief 
introduction to 30-Hour Famine by Ms. Rachelle Gan. 

The ice breaking session includes three games, which are the "Blanket Game", the "Alarm Talk" and "Find Your Family" .We then quickly proceeded to our first Famine Challenge, which requires a few of the group members to be "handicapped". Participants went through a tiring yet fun session of games and had a great time completing Famine Challenge I.

Famine Challenge II is less physical and more mental where each group is given a country to be discussed, and at the end of the session, a sketch is presented by each group to show the others the product of their discussion.

Under age driver tsk tsk 

Mystery game was hectic and spine-chilling, nevertheless the participants managed to survive through the eerie night and headed back to their dorms for good night's rest.

The next day, we had Famine Challenge III and IV, allowing participants to understand how it feels living in poverty. The "Capture the Flag" event was exciting and managed to get everyone hyped up to defend their own bases . We also had a war cry chanting session, where the participants chanted with their hearts out to achieve the most energetic war-cry award.

Our final activity was station games, and the participants had to spend their last resource of energy and complete all 8 stations before getting ready to have their break fast. Station games went on splendidly and the facilitators had a good time "torturing" the participants during their final hour of fasting. 

    Don't splash me anymore! :((

 PARTAYYYYYY!!~!~!






At 3.05pm, the hour has arrived where the participants gratefully wolfed down the light yet hearty meal we prepared for them along with a chilled cup of Milo. The event was a huge success and we are happy that we managed to raise donations AND awareness regarding poverty in the third-world countries. The sum collected is around RM13,500.00 and all proceeds of this event will be donated to World Vision Malaysia to help eliminate poverty. We thank all of you for the continuous support towards our club and hope to see you next time.
