[HERE'S A PLUG by 15-year old Joshua for the Junior Public Speaking Club, an initiative of homeschoolers in Kuala Lumpur. Although homeschooled kids make up the majority, we're getting quite a number who aren't - and we're so glad for it! ]

Dear Parents,
I’m Joshua, from the Junior Public Speaking Club. Just wanted to invite you and kids (aged 12 & above)all to our club meeting this June! The meeting will be held in the EaglePoint Covenant Fellowship building in Puchong, on the 4th next month!
The Junior Public Speaking Club (or JPS Club) was started 6 years ago by Amy Ratos. Basically, it has been about creating a friendly platform to encourage kids in the much-needed skill of public speaking. Parents stay throughout the meeting, and take on roles as mentors and speech evaluators, giving the kids constructive criticism and encouragement. Now, we’ve about 30 members, including parents, and we get together monthly to, well…speak!
Ever since, we’ve gotten busy. We’ve had themed speeches, debates, games, skit days, and on special occasions, even mini mock-trials. If I recall right, the last mock trial involved an accusation about whether Gingerbread Man killed Humpty Dumpty (I’m serious!) Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough evidence, and so Gingerbread Man got away scot-free. 
Our meeting for next month will be themed “SPIES.”
Some of the kids will be giving prepared speeches, jokes, and games this month, so do be there to hear them! Of course, if you’re just visiting, your children don’t have to prepare any speeches – just bring yourselves, your kids, and hands ready to clap.
The meeting, as I mentioned, will be held at EaglePoint Covenant Fellowship, on Friday, the 4th of June, at 2:30-4:30 pm. Our club meetings happen, at the same place and time, every first Friday of the month. Here’s the address to the church building:
No. 2, Jalan Rajawali 3,
Bandar Puchong Jaya,
47100 Puchong
Do feel free to email any of us for more info about the club:
