            Through this project, I was able to learn more about how important is teamwork. Before this I do not have much thought about this programme, but after many discussions and meeting I feel committed to plan and implement the activities for the children. This is because I realized I am working hard towards making this programme enjoyable for the children in SBJK.

Throughout the whole event, I learned how important it is to plan before and during the day of the event so that the event runs smoothly. I realised the importance of actively cooperating with one another especially during the day of the event so that the programmes are carried out as planned and the whole situation is under control

.

 I realised it is very important for me to carry out my tasks that was assigned so that the event will turn out successful because I am also part of the team. For example, while I interacting with the children from ‘Asas 2. Moreover, I realised that when I serve as a University Malaya student to this community, I am representing University Malaya so it is important to be courteous and professional throughout the event.

I personally sympathize the students in SBJK when I knew the backgrounds of these students. After watching the video that was being played during the meeting, I found out that the students there are either orphans, students that are not able to go to the regular daily school (Sekolah menengah harian) due to extreme poverty and those who do not have personal identification. I feel pity for the students for having such a hard life and I realised how blessed I am for how I came into this world and the family I have.

 Initially, I was worried if it would be tough to interact with them after considering the effect of their background on them. I thought that these students will be very quiet and gloomy due to what they have been through. However, my perception shifted after interacting with them. The children are very happy,hyperactive and playful just like other kids. They are very polite and showed me good manners. These children taught me that I shouldn’t let challenges to overcome me and taught me to live my life positively

.

Previously, I do not have much experience in dealing with kids, so I was feeling insecure about how to approach them and interacting with them. However, I learned to observe how others approach these students and manage to step out of my comfort zone by approaching few of the students. I also take the opportunity to join in one or two games and play with the students.
