Sometimes during their orbits, the moon and the earth form a line with the sun. When this happens, an
eclipse occurs.

the sun and the moon, blocking part of the sun's light from reaching the moon. During a lunar eclipse, you will see
the earth's shadow on the moon.

light is blocked. The sky slowly gets dark as the moon moves in front of the sun. When the moon and sun are in a
perfect line, it is called a total eclipse. These are very rare. Most people only see one in their lifetime. Source:

It was a bright Sunday morning on 22 April 2014 when 20 members of the Social Society set out
by school bus to Taman Cheras for a good cause: to visit the orphans in RumahSayang. The Teacher-
Advisors who accompanied these caring students were Jenny Ling and John Khoo.
The school bus arrived at the venue at about 10 a.m. The Matron, Mrs. Edwards, was there to
welcome us. The orphans had lined up in the hall waiting for us. The welcome we received from them
was very warm and touching.
We started off with an ice-breaking session. Then, we taught them how to make paper cranes
which were stuffed into a lovely glass bottle. It was a lot of fun especially towards the end. As for
performances, we witnessed one the orphans, June, dancing to a hip-hop song and 7-year-old Barry sang
a Japanese song.
The children were really adorable. There was a little boy named Rick, who stuck to June and liked
sitting on her lap. There were other volunteers there on that day too. There was one group of people
who gave them haircuts. Another group of volunteers gave them tuition lessons.
The trip ended with a lot of hugs, goodbyes and a huge group picture. Overall, it was a great and
enjoyable experience and I think some of us are already thinking of visiting them again soon.
