INTRODUCTION
Community services is a voluntary work that intend to help people in
a particular area. A voluntary work is a work done by one person or a group
of people to benefit others. For this assignment, we were required to
perform a community services in a group and record a personal individual
journal that reflect our journey towards the whole process of how we
perform our roles and activities.
The orphanage home that we had visited is Rumah K.I.D.S located in
Subang Jaya. Rumah K.I.D.S was founded in 1991 and reaches out to abused,
orphaned and abandoned children. Rumah K.I.D.S had been supported by
well-wishers in the community, from individuals to corporations and non-
profit agencies who partner with Rumah K.I.D.S in their mission to give
orphaned, abused and abandoned children an opportunity to grow up and
realize their full potential. Today, Rumah K.I.D.S has housed, fed and
nurtured over 800 children.
We had a great time with the children and it was a very meaningful
activity to me. This activity helps us to understand the needs of the children
and encourage them to pursue their dreams in the future when they grow
up. Besides, we should also realize the important of this activity and be more
knowledgeable about the needs of the community.

As for our scene, we decided to shoot the video at the lift lobby. It wasn’t easy
for us because the lift keeps open and closing. We try the first time but it FAIL
haha, because people keep come in. Hence, I would like to thanks Chin Qi Yu
and Yong Zkang for helping us to take self-reflection video.
After the event, we were
required to prepare a
reflection video on our
experience
We prepared questions for
each member and our
question is “How do you feel
about the children activity”

REFLECTION
Community service initiative is really a fun and enjoyable
activities to be involved with the kids from the orphanage
home. Although they been through hard time but they still look
happy and joyful to us and we feel glad that they are able to
give us an opportunity to help them by organising activities to
play with them.
I would like to thanks everyone for their efforts in contributing
towards the activities. My role was in charge of controlling the
finances and the budget for the expenses that we need for
the activities. I had to prepare a claiming template to sum
up the total expense from everyone to prepare a financial
report. Besides, we often had meeting almost every week to
discuss on the orphanage home available and organiz e the
activities.
During the planning, we faced some challenges on how to
organize the activities and games. I t wasn’t easy to organize
the activities for the kids as we had to prepare activities that
would benefit and bring knowledge to the kids and abl e to
create awareness for them to achieve their goals in the future.
Therefore, we discuss on coming out with a comedy role with
different careers playing in each scene to show them the
careers and professions in the industry.

We also design an ambitious board for the kids to stick their
papers of their written dreams and ambitions that they wish to
become in the future. I feel that this is a good activity as they
can look back at the ambitious board to remind them of their
ambitions and dreams at any tim e. This will give them
motivations and help them to fulfil their dreams.
For the game session, since we are short of time, we actually
supposed to conduct 2 game session but 1 game instead. The
game is called “Lava Floor” which means there is limited flo or
to stand. We learn that they were actually quite smart as they
were able to answered most of the questions correctly much
to the surprised of us. I am proud that they had fun with
activities.

In my opinion, I found out that the
kids are well discipline in their life
as they were given a duty
everyday to manage and
organize to clean the house. For
an example, when we arrived at
their home, our shoes were not
arranged in order but when the
kids reach home. They arrange their shoes properly and in order in
the shoe rack and also arrange our shoes nicely as well. I felt that
they had actually bring us good values as we bring good value to
them.
Besides, they take their turns to
clean the compound of their
rooms as they were allocated
the place for them to clean. For
an example, they were divided
into 3 rooms and each room
consists of 4 to 5 kids in charge
to clean a particular place such
as library or kitchen. Each time they clean up their rooms, points will
be allocated for each team. I found that they were being raised with
good values and we should be initiative like them. We hope that they
would be successful when they grown up and achieve their goals
and dreams.
