Reflection by Mohamad Hazmie

  First of all, I would like to thank everyone that have made our social engagement task a success. Although this subject looks easy, bur it is not as easy as it seem. There are difficult task that we faced in visitting the orphanage. It started out on planning the activities that we want to do with the kids, because the range of this kids is from 4 years old to 18 years old.

   We started the first the first day by meeting all of us around 5.30 a.m near by the bustop of our residential college. After everyone is there we move out to broga where the home for the angels is located. Some of us went by mrt while some by cars. I went by my car with musadiq, syahir and adznee. We arrived at the home for the angels around 8 a.m. The first thing that we did was cleaning the rooms of the kids and also cleaning the room that we will sleep in. We alsi nop the floor, clean the windows and trim hedges of the orphanage. I was task to help the kitchen to cook for lunch. I helped the uncle to cook for lunch starting from 10a.m. As i was cooking for lunch, some of us did the ice breaking session with the kids, while some continue cleaning the orphanage.

  The ice breaking session was done so that the kids can know our name and we can also learn their names. The ice breaking was done until lunch. After lunch we did the next activity that  is doing the zumba until evening. After the zumba we played some games with the kids to entertain them and create a better bond. After that the kids are asked to take a shower and so did we. Before going to bed, we had a movie night with the kids, we watch the movie with them until 11.pm after that all of us went to sleep.

  We started the second day at 6.00a.m, i straight away went to the kitchen to cook breakfast for the kids and all of us. It was planned to do the hiking with the kids, but it was cancelled because the kids woke up at 6.30a.m. We continued our activities after breakfast. The activities was science experiments with the kids. The first experiment was using the microscope to see cells of an onion. After that we did and experiment with flammable bubbles that would not burn the skin, the last experiment was non-newtonian fluid. For the kids who was under 12 years old we did collage art. Affer finishing the activities, we clean up the house of angels. Later we packed our bags and head back to university malaya.

 I am glad that our social engagement program was a success. I've learned to be greatful for what we have as not everyone have the same chances as us. The important thing is to have the will to survive and not give up. I also learned how to cook vegetarian food and learned that vegetarian food is quite good. All in all, thank you everyone that have made our social engagement service a success.
