Blood Drive!

Only about 5% of the people give blood. Many people do not give blood, because they are afraid of needles or think it will be painful. Others fear that they may get AIDS by donating blood. Some don’t want to take the time and effort required to give blood.

But, please keep in mind that:

EVERY DROP COUNTS

The St. John Ambulance Malaysia (SJAM) from SMK Damansara Utama is taking action to save lives! SJAM from Damansara Utama Division will be holding a blood drive in Tropicana City Mall to help those in need.

September 12, 2010

10am – 5pm

Tropicana City Mall

First Floor (Opposite Kiku Zakura)

Are you needed as a blood donor?


The answer is yes!

When there is not enough blood, patients wait for hours for the blood they need, delaying their recovery. They might even lose their dear life.

A unit of blood is needed every three seconds! However, the resource of blood is always in shortage. What are you waiting for? You can give the extraordinary gift of life.

By being a donor yourself and encouraging others to give, you can be the difference between life and death for as many as 3 people.

For further information please contact Grace Lim (017-3667117 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 017-3667117 end_of_the_skype_highlighting ) or Isaac Lim (012-2199027).

Day 1, 16th April 2010

Right after the afternoon session students were dismissed at 6.45 p.m. Campers started coming in to register to get their name tags and dinner.

this year, we did not use colour papers for the camper's name tags, instead we used colour strings instead! thanks to our camp secretary and treasurer (Sophie & Lee Xue Er) for handling the camp registration!

one of the campers registering to get their name tags.

All of the campers placed all of their luggage in the canteen and gathered at the Assembly ground, all of them got into their own squads. They were all briefed on the Rules and Regulation that was printed at the back of their nametags.

After briefing, all of the campers shifted their luggage to the luggage room!

Then it was tent pitching time!

Squad Introductions was next!

All of the squads had awesome and creative cheers.
Good job to all SLs and ASLs.

Our beloved Ex-BOD 08/09

Right after the introductions by all squads, it was time for our first game for the night!

MARTIANS INVADE ROCKET BASE!

it's a much more different game than the usual 'Operasi Burung Hantu' or any other game, hopefully the members enjoyed it.

briefing them

game begins.


Ofcourse, you'd be wondering what will the other squads be doing while this squad's playing this awesome game.

ICE-BREAKERS! led by Daniel Devan!
