25 March 2016 (Friday) - Trip to Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih

Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih (SBJK) is a special school where under convention of the rights of the child. SBJK is one of the initiatives by Malaysia Education Ministry as the access for the street children around Kuala Lumpur that are abandoned in this country to get better education. The objectives of SBJK are provide homeless and abandoned street children access to basic education, the platforms for work opportunities, the skills and knowledge to be independent and also ensure no child is left behind. It is a new exploration for me to go to SBJK, a totally different school which it is  the only one school in Malaysia where the students no need to wear school uniform.  

Before we go to the school, we did have several meetings to discuss the program flow on that day. We have brainstorming session to think of the different types of activities. After few weeks discussion, we have finalized our activity list, which we will having game session, moral sharing session and also drawing session. I really have a fun day with all those cute kids even they are just in a very less number. Together we laughed and enjoyed the half-day program which we specially prepared for them. Our program was ended at around 4 pm on that day. I am looking forward for my next meeting with them!

 

Today I have learnt a lot from the pre-school kids. Even though they are from special families and different backgrounds from the normal kids, they never complaint for their life and status. Because of the economic fragility of the family, these children may eventually end up permanently on the streets. Happiness consist in contentment. This is what I have found from them. For every child, I don't know their backgrounds and stories, but what I can do is to deliver my love and care to them so that they will know they are not left behind the world. Seeing their warmth smiles on their faces is the happiest matter in life. There is a bless for them to meet a school like SBJK who willing to help and care about them. And I really hope there will be a better bright life is waiting for them in their coming future.
