Coach Conor and Coach Riko recently conducted Self-Defense sessions at the LCS Community Youth Camp 2019 which was held at KDU Penang. About 30 young girls from various local schools signed-up for two separate sessions, as part of the many camp activities, to learn this life skill to improve their wellbeing and build their self-confidence. The sessions include learning movements to ward off attacks and was given a talk on the situation and environment assessment when they go about their daily lives.
Life Community Services Society(LCSS) was established in 1996 to empower our children and families through care and mentoring. With the help of volunteers, this charitable body organizes several programs and events to achieve their goals of improving the lives of underprivileged and troubled families.

Prominent lawyer and local politician, Jagdeep Singh Deo, was most kind to officiate the installation of the Warrior Monkey Bar structure yesterday morning at Permai Park in the presence of Warriors, friends and members of the public. In his short speech, the contesting candidate for Dato Keramat’s state assembly seat mentioned that should the party he represents returns as the State Government, there will be a continued effort and priority to establish more state parks. His commitment would include talking to the Chief Minister and initiating more of these programs through the state government. He also lauded the efforts of Warrior Fitness & Adventure for providing this second facility, following the earlier set-up at Straits Green. The cost of the installation was raised through crowdfunding among Warriors and friends. The event was followed by a free Abs & Core session conducted by Coach Chin Lee.

For one hour, shrieks of delight pierced the calm verdant surroundings of the BHS Welfare Village when 15 young children were given a Junior Bootcamp session by members of Warrior Bootcamp (WBC) Penang. While the kids appeared to have had a good time, it was not all fun and games as they were also made to do some fitness exercises adopted by this leading provider of outdoor fitness training and team-building programs in Penang.

The children were later treated to a healthy vegetarian dinner and frozen treats made from fresh fruits. Stationery was also distributed to the children and to the Home. Members of WBC also brought contributions of food items like rice, milk and a popular chocolate and malt beverage.

Of age six to twelve, these kids are residents of Ru Yi Home, a children’s shelter located within the grounds of the Bodhi Heart Sanctuary on Jalan Mount Erskine, Tanjung Tokong. Through a series of unfortunate events like having lost a parent, possible abuse, abandonment and poverty, these children come to this shelter with a hope of growing up with a positive attitude and value towards life.

Ru Yi Home depends on donations from the public and its plan for the near future includes moving to a larger house with a garden to allow the children bigger and better living spaces. This also gives potential for accepting more children into the home; young kids who may otherwise lack similar opportunities.
