Reflection by Tengku callysta mauditrice

    First of all, I would like to thank my social engagement group because we already have done this project together. in the beginning, I have no idea what's going to happen in this course and also I don't know with whom I'm going to be in a group. After that, we had our first meeting which the first meeting that I can't attend. After the first meeting with Dr. Mozard Mohtar, my group had arranged the group structure. I am really surprised because my name is not written there but I realized that there is one slot that nobody writes their name that slot is for the second secretary and then I write my name there.

     After done with group structure we proceed to contact the orphanage, think about what should we do at the orphanage, what should we prepare for the programme until we came up with any ideas. done with the programme plan we proceed to do the proposal to submit it to Dr. Mozard Mohtar for the approval that we can go to the orphanage to do our social engagement programme. after all done we practice for the Zumba session for sign language session and others.

  6th April was our first day to do the programme, the first batch will go by car and others will go by MRT. I take MRT to go to Kajang with other international students because we all from the same kolej kediaman. we arrive at Kajang at around 9.00 AM. After arriving at the orphanage I try to ask my friends what to do and I start to help them cleaning the room that we will use for stay here. after the cleaning session, we all do the icebreaking session to know each other with the kids. But for me, it quite difficult to communicate with the children because they used the Chinese language. After that, we proceed to take lunch and after lunch, we make the cooking session with the kids we make tang yuan or riceball. After that, I continued to help the aunty at the orphanage to clean up. at night we all take a rest while some of them watching a movie with the children.

      The second day, we plan to hike the broga hill but due to the weather, the programme canceled. so we take breakfast and then I just notice that today we have a booth so later there will be some people came and they also can eat in the orphanage and it ends at 3:00 PM. after that my friends do the experiment with the children and I can see from their face that they were so happy with the experiment. I can't see the experiment until it all done because I have to help the aunty to clean up other things.

     From this programme, I feel so happy because I can meet all the children and they were so kind to us. I also become more grateful with all that Allah has given to me. Also for the experience being vegan for 2 days, I hope I can meet them again and I hope they can be a great person in the future.
