The Little Shoes Project is a project that focuses on the daily life of African kids, who contacted hookwarm disease, strongyloidiasis, podoconiosis and elephanticisis, dieseases as such due to their lack of having a footwear. The primary aim of this project is so that we are able to support African kids in buying shoes for them.
Guests, Rotaracters and Rotarians started pouring in at 18.20 and by 19.00, the event began with the arrival of our Guest of Honour, President Rtn. PK Leong.
We were greeted by a fantastic performance by the Music Club of ATC, with Tuan Wern, Mah Sue Ann and Edwin Cheong on the stage merging three songs into one which was soothing and beautifully done.
The New Board of Directors.
The Outgoing President, IPP Daniel Gan Chun Yang, in his speech briefly updated the floor with the achievements Rotaract Club of ATC had accomplished during the past term under his leadership. He stated that being a President is not as easy as it seems, but the determination and endurance had led the Club to a great length, and he hopes that the incoming Board of Directors would continue to succeed.
Upon finishing his speech, IPP Daniel Gan passes on the Presidential Medal to President Elect Tham Jun Jie, simultaneously symbolises the transition of power to President Elect Tham Jun Jie. The newly-installed President then went on to install his Board of Directors.
The guests were then entertained by the Yoyo Club of Malaysia with their yoyo skills and their sense of humour. The audience were awed by their amazing skills and talent.

Later, as the night came to an end, a total of 6 guests, randomly picked based on their shoes, had to battle out to get the Best Shoes Award. They were asked to pick a pair of shoes from the opposite sex, and they had to pose and style with the chosen shoes. Adam from the Yoyo Club of Malaysia won under the Men’s Category whilst Miss Felicia Ann, a lecturer from the college itself won under the Women’s Category.
Alas, it was a memorable night and the new Board of Directors had proven themselves worthy with their successful event. Congratulations to President Tham Jun Jie, Rtr. Audrey Tan as the Organising Chairperson, and the new Board of Directors for a spectacular night!
