SEKOLAH BIMBINGAN JALINAN KASIH (2nd Visit)

KUALA LUMPUR

15 APRIL, 2016

This was my as well as my group's second time we all were going to SBJK for conducting our activity. I again felt very much happy to see all the children and teachers. I greeted them cordially and asked if they were doing good. They were also very overwhelmed to see us for the 2nd time in SBJK.

We were briefed by the honorable principal of SBJK shortly for the 2nd time before starting our activity for that day. I personally felt very happy to meet the principal, the teachers and the lovely children for the 2nd time.

Briefing session (2nd time)

This time, my group was assigned by various types of games and activities which we organized for our event. There were aerobics session, filling water game, eagle game and so on. I was assigned for the game "fill the bottle". While playing with the little kids, it reminded me of my childhood. Also, I noticed that whatever the situation is, these children are always happy. They have no complain. After noticing all these, I realized that I should be positive towards everything to be contented. One of my bad habits is that I compare my situation with those people who have more than me. But after seeing those under-privileged children from very near, I realized that I should always be happy and contented with what I have given.

As I was conducting my activities, I noticed the teachers as well. Like, how they teach the children, how they behave with them and so on. With my utter surprise, I noticed that all the teachers were very kind and affectionate towards the children. They also behaved very politely with all of us which motivated me to always behave well and keep a positive attitude. They teach the children with care and proper guidance. So, the children are also well mannered even if they were very small. This positive attitude of the teachers motivated me greatly.

I also got to know about the responsibilities of how these kind of events are handled. As I am in group 2, I was assigned to arrange games for children as well as to inspire them by moral values. So I was quite aware of my responsibilities. Obviously these tasks helped me for the future to be more responsible when I will be handling a family or my workplace. It not only taught me to be responsible, but also gave me an opportunity to spend quality time with the little children and have fun with them.

 The SBJK event not only helped me in my future life, but also helped me to be successful in my present life as well. This event taught me how to communicate with children. Because children are prone to explore and learn various things. So I made sure I should provide good examples from which they can learn something good which will inspire them in their future life. I also gained knowledge about the nature and lifestyle of the under-privileged children.

The most important thing I learnt is that the unity and teamwork. I was really happy when I saw my whole team along with other teams are working hard to make the event a success. This taught me how to remain united in good and bad times and also the urge to work together under proper guidance.

Also, I learnt how to follow the instructions of the leader as they are the dragoman to lead us to the right path. Surely it will help me in the long run afterwards.

Furthermore, I got to know the vision, mission and goals of SBJK and these kind of institutions. How they carry out their noble work, how they help the children who are under-privileged and how they are willing to develop it to such extent that more institutions feel motivated to establish more schools for the under-privileged and homeless children.

In short, SBJK event motivated me highly from different aspects. It inspired me to do social welfare in future and also to conduct these kind of events more frequently. It has broaden my outlook and vision as well. Also, got to learn a lot of things from the teachers and children from this school. By this, I have gained knowledge and lots of experiences. I would conclude by saying that, I got to spend some amazing time with the children and teachers of SBJK which I will cherish forever. Hopefully I will see all of them very soon.
