YAP CHEE KEAT (CEB150170)

Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih is a school where provide the education opportunity to the left out children on the street around Kuala Lumpur. Some of the children are homeless, poor or orphan, they do not have birth certificate and some of them came from a very tough family background or maybe do not even have a family. It was my first time present myself and know about this school. It was a small but systematic school who not only provide education, yet provide them to learn some skills like music instrument and so on in order for them to survive in the society. Besides that, the facilities such as canteen, classroom, music room and so on are good in order to provide a comfortable and good environment for the students to study. Most of the teachers there are very kind because they rather give up the chance to teaching in a normal school, instead they come to this school to teach and help this kind of children.

We did the fund raising for the to students before we come to the school. We manage to sell about 120 of cupcakes in campus.

The day begin with the briefing by the school principal with the video of establishment and also profile of Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih. I personally feel touched especially when they show the part of the students cried because they would not be able to have a family or love like us from our family members.

After the briefing, I and my group member start the programme with pre-school students as planned earlier. It was my first experience to lead everyone in the group to plan such amazing tentative together and we get the chance to apply it in the school. They are very excited to see us, yet they are more obedient than what I expected. During the activities, there are some unexpected problem happen which totally out of what I expected and the planning. For example, one of the kid was crying and not willing to join the activities, some activities were delay or not on time and more. Yet, trough out these unexpected changes, I got to learnt how to adapt to the change of environment and stay calm to find out another best solution when problems occur. 

Besides that, I have learnt how to communicate with the group members and helping each other during the activities and this is very important especially working in a team.
