Dapur Jalanan
20th of March 2016, Sunday.
20th of March 2016, Sunday.
Dapur Jalanan is a volunteer-based
soup kitchen services operate every Sunday which is located at Jalan Panggong,
Bangsar. They offer free food and drinks to some people who live in the city
known as ‘’urban poor’’. Dapur Jalanan does not refer all of them as homeless
because some of them have job and shelter but they are lack of financial
support. On 20th of March 2016, I was able to join the program as a volunteer
with my other course mates from Faculty of Business and Accountancy, University
of Malaya.
The Planning Phase:
I never involve
in any volunteering program before this so I felt a little bit nervous. I did
not know what to expect because I was about to meet some people that their
lives were not the same as mine. I assumed their thought and attitude were
different because of the challenges and obstacles that they had to face every
day. I used to think that these kinds of people mostly appeared as aggressive
and defensive with someone that they barely know and not used to be around
with.
I had a lot of
things running around in my mind but I stay positive. Besides that, I also felt
excited and curious because it was the first time I joined this kind of
program. I have always wanted to join any program that I can contribute
anything good for society but I have not had chance. It is something that makes
me feel great when I see people smile for the good things I do for them. So
finally I got the chance! So I let all the feelings aside, I was ready to get
in action.

The Current Phase:
I went to the
location by public transportation. At 12.30 pm, I arrived at LRT University by
bus that I took at UM Central. Then, I reached Bangsar. I had lunch at the near
restaurant with my course mates. After that, I walked to the Kelab Bangsar
Utama for food preparation. I was glad it only took 5 minutes. At 2 pm, it was
the time to prepare the food. The menu on that day was fruits salad, sandwiches
and for the drink was orange flavour. I helped them chopping the apples and
pears into smaller form. Next, I washed the trays and put the fruits into it. I
also helped my course mates put all the sandwiches in the trays and organize it
well so they can easily take it.
Most of them
were male and the others were female. During the food sharing, at some point I
was about to cry because I felt very sad to see them, the way they dressed and
they were very hungry. I thought how grateful my life was but I remained calm
and did my task. They behaved so well and the food sharing went smooth. During
that time, I managed to ask one of them about this program and he thought it
was a good idea to help those people in need and he always came every Sunday
for food sharing.
The After Phase:
Food sharing
ended at 6.45 pm and sharing session started at 6.45 pm until 7.00 pm. Then I
headed back to the University of Malaya. It was a very good experience for me
even though I was exhausted. My perspective has changed since that day.
Although their appearance sometimes look as dangerous person but actually they
are nice person. It is just that they do not have the same luck or opportunity
as other people.
I never look down on them even I hope someday their lives will
become much better. I believe everyone in this world has the right to food.
Sometimes human right is overlooked by society or institution. I am looking
forward to participate in any volunteering program in the future for my
self-development so I will always stand in the right path.

Fundraising
22nd of March 2016, Tuesday.
The main
objective of fundraising activity is to gain money for the social engagement
project that will be held at Sekolah Jalinan Bimbingan Kasih. The money will be
used to support any cost that involve in the implementation of the project. My
group decided to sell variety flavours of muffins because one of the group
members can make it work. Her mom sells muffins so I and other members suggest
to take the advantage and gain the money.
The chosen
flavours were vanilla, chocolate, red velvet and banana. The total muffins to
sell were 300. Each of us got 13 muffins to sell for 2 days and the price is RM
2.00 each and RM 5 if they buy 3 muffins. My group and I collected the muffins
at the Dataran Zaba in Faculty Business and Accountancy at 12 pm on Tuesday 22nd
of March 2016.
I began to sell
the muffins to all my friends and those who were interested to buy. On that
day, I managed to sell all muffins and I got RM 25 for selling 13 muffins. I explained
the purpose of it and I was so glad because it went so smooth and all my
friends were very supportive to help me bought the muffins.
The muffins were
so delicious and they complimented the same. Credit to Eeyin and her mother.
The profit combined and the total was more than RM 200. My group and I managed
to get the money to buy all the materials needed for the program.
All of us gave good
commitment on both days and keep updated information in the group chat. The treasurer
kept the profits for a while before went to buy the materials. All the efforts
and teamwork are paid off.

Sekolah Jalinan Bimbingan Kasih
25th of March 2016, Friday.
Sekolah Bimbingan
Jalinan Kasih (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. It is located at the strategic place
which is in the centre of the city, Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz, Kuala Lumpur. The
school is not the same as other government schools. They are not just focusing
on academic and the students are free to wear any attire because they do not
have uniform.
The Planning Phase:
My group and I
decided to go to SBJK for social engagement project. I found it very
interesting because I used to be in the government school and it was totally
different with SJBK. Honestly I never knew of the existing of this school
before this and that made me more curious. Knowing that every student in that
school have different family background, some of them were growing on the
street, and left by their family and faced many obstacles since they were
little makes me feel sad. I have to be more careful so that I do not speak any
of matter that is sensitive for them.
I thought that
their behaviour will be different. I know it sounds cliché but I usually think
like that. I assumed they were more independent with their lives since they
have been facing a lots of challenges and the way they think might as well
different with people like us. Besides that, I love kids and I cannot wait to
meet them. I was in charged to handle program for preschool and me and my group
already have each other’s slot. My slot was Guess It. Basically the student has
to pick one piece of paper in the box and the one who picks the paper has to
act based on what he or she gets. The rest of students have to guess what it
is.
The Current Phase:
The Current Phase:
It is very
interesting game and suitable for preschool students. I have prepared 2 boxes
and I printed the images from Google. It consists of animals and things so it
is easy for them to guess. I wrapped the boxes and put 20 images into each box.
Everything is done and the next day I went to the school with my group and I reached
there around 8.45 am. The program started around 10 am after briefing by the
principle of the school. The preschool students were only 8 people. They were
very cute and little. The first game was Musical Chair and then Eagle Catches
the Chickens. I saw that they were happy and had fun. At first, it was quite
hard to handle them because they were very active and liked to running around. Fortunately
the teacher was there to monitor and I managed to handle the situation.

Next, the
students watched the Upin Ipin and Si Kancil dan Buaya stories until recess
time at 12.00 pm. It was fun to be with them and some of them were very quiet
and the others were loud and active. 1 student did not want to involve in the
program so she just sit with the teacher and I did not want to force if she was
feeling uncomfortable. I observed that they were just like normal kids until I know
their backgrounds. There were no differences of them with other kids out there.
It gave me the warm feelings inside.
Recess time
ended at 2.30 pm and Guess It game started. They were having fun and all of
them were very smart. They can guess it right and they behaved well during the
game. After the game, they had to draw anything they wanted. I sat down beside
them and watched them drew. Most of them drew house and it was nice drawing for
kids. I guess they missed home. At 4 pm all games finished. All of them got the
prizes equally.
The After Phase:
I went back to
my hostel and arrived around 5 pm. I was really exhausted and happy as well. I did
not know why but I felt sad when I saw them went home. Maybe I spent the day and
I already felt close with them. I thought of my brother, the only brother that I
have. It made me miss him more than ever. I felt relieved because everything
went very well and I got the opportunity to visit the school and be around with
the students. It was a great experience, indeed. It really opened my eyes and I
started to miss them.
I saw lots of
potential in themselves because they are good kids and smart. I really hope
they will have a bright future and be a successful people so that they can help
those people in need and change the world to be a better place. SBJK will
always have a special in my heart.

Sekolah
Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih
15th of April 2016, Friday.
This
is the second time I went to Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih (SBJK) and I was
very happy to be back at this school. My group and I have another program and I
handled primary school students. This time my group and I decided to do Explorace
game and there will be 8 stations. I was in charged to handle 3rd
station called Filled up the Water in Bottle with my other 3 members.
The Planning Phase:
The Planning Phase:
It
was during the mid-semester break so I went to the school from home. I was very
glad because my house in Kuala Lumpur and it was very near. My father sent me
by motorcycle at 8.00 am before he went to work. I reached the school around
8.10 am. Some of my group members came from hostel and the others from home
like me. I was very excited because I was about to meet the primary school
students because the last time I came I was handling the preschool students so I
would love to see the outcomes for the program.
After
the briefing, the students were divided at 8 groups. Each group consists of 10
students and have 1 facilitator to take care of them. The age range of them was between 7 until 12 years old. The process of dividing
them was before the recess time. At the moment, I was preparing the materials
at my station. I brought the bottle while my team mates brought the span and
bucket. Around 10.30 am the Explorace game continued. Most of the students used
to play this game before and it made me easier to explain how to play it. They have
to fill the bottle with water using the span and the water must be half of the
bottle. If they did not make it, they will be punished.
The Current Phase:
All
of the groups did it very well and they were having fun played the game. There were
a few groups did fill the bottle and some groups just fill half the bottle. I was
standing beside and cheered up for each group that played. I wanted to motivate
them so that they did not feel the pressure. I can see their teamwork, spirit
and they encourage their group members to win. I was glad to see that. My station
was the first to finish and after that I went to other stations to cheer up for
the students. It was fun for me. Explorace game ended around 12 pm and all of
us got to rest until 2.30 pm.
The After Phase:
The
program had to finish at 3 pm because the school had another event on the same
day. The winners are already known. It was the time to hand the prize to all
the students. Top 3 winners got a bigger hampers and the other groups also got
the prize. The students looked tired but happy. I loved to see their smiles
when my group and I came to do program for them.
Everything
went smooth and they also got more comfortable with us because this was the
second time we came here. The cooperation given by them I highly appreciated. I
hope next time I will get the opportunity to visit here again and spend time
with them.
