NURUL DIANA BINTI JUSOH CEB150115 A DAY AT JALAN PANGGONG WITH DAPUR JALANAN

I heard a lot about Dapur Jalanan from my members because they when there for their Titas and Ethnic Relations assigments. I'm very excited to go there because for the first time in my life I can involved to help the urban poor  and try to approach them to know how their real life. Actually not all of them are homeless and jobless but they work only to have the food for that day.

 I and  the team members from group 1 and 2 go  there by lrt and arrive at Kelab Bangsar Utama at Bangsar around 2pm after walking for a few minutes from Lrt Bangsar. On that day we need to prepare egg sandwiches, and cutting the fruits like apples, pears, guavas and watermelon for fruits salad. I'm assigned to prepare the fruits by cutting it to the small pieces for prepared fruits salad. Although on that day i'm not felling well, but i'm try to do my best for the group. Actually on that day, that have a restaurant Nasi Ayam Ramesh sponsed the foods to the urban poor so we did not assigned  to do the heavy task like cooking. When prepared the foods I learn how to communicate and cooperate with each other because most of them are new friends for me. So at that time, I had know more about them.

Then, on 5 pm I and all the team members go to Jalan Panggong to serve the foods to the urban poor.When looking at them, I'm became  little bit sensitive and  I think a lot about my life. I'm felt sorry for them. When we arrived there, they are already waiting for us to get the foods. 


I assigned to take part for the hygiened part.I  and my team members had given 3 plastic trash to separate food waste  to food waste, all of the materials that can be recycled and which can not be recycled. The food waste will be parsed to use as fertilizing to the plants and the process will be doing at UM. I'm proud as UM students because UM  became the center to compos the food waste. The distribution of food to the urban poor finish around 6.30 pm .



What I learn from that day is how grateful I am even I did not come from a wealthy family but still have home to life and have foods to eat everyday.  Apprieced and grateful with what we have.I hope this project will continue because not everyone is willing to do this noble work without expecting anything in return . Hopefully I will come here again for the next session.
