Community Service
Introduction
Community Service Initiative is designed to install student's awareness and care for society. This course helps students to mature by developing social skills, doing outreach or public relations tasks. The objective of this course is to nurture a culture of respect and care toward all members and plant a seed of dream into heart of kids in the Homes.
Group Assignment
In this community service project, our beneficiaries group are the kids from Shelter Home for children which is set up in the year 1981. It is mainly a home for children from 4 to 12 years of age who have been abused, neglected, at-risk or abandoned by their families,
parents or guardians. The home is a safe haven that protects the children and provides for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. It seeks to develop them through academic and vocational training. Most of the children here go to a Government school. Some, however, (those who are weak in their studies) go through a home schooling programme. All those children are cared for by staff who work on a 24-hour shift, following a roster, providing rehabilitation and care for the children; an administrative officer who deals with the children's school matters, volunteers, visitors and children&events; a cook that prepares all the meals for the children and a manager that oversees the Home. The aim is to raise children who are secure in their identity, strong in character and equip with moral and godly values and good social skills.

In this community service project, we are required to separate into 4 groups. Each group has 20 students and each student will have a job title with job scope. After the assignment briefing by our lecturer Miss Tay Shir Men, we start to do some research about the orphanage
house in Subang Jaya and Petaling Jaya. After few meetings, we choose to have a visit to Shelter Home Head-quarter which located at Petaling Jaya. We also divided into 2 groups where the first group goes to the Shelter Home to help out with the kids while the second
groups went to the food delivery services. However, I was in the first group where we visited the Shelter Home. We have a well communication with the home supervisor Miss Rachel Kuo, she provide us all the kids and orphanage’s information, backgrounds and some regulations that we must comply during the visit to the home. Our objective of this project is to provide career exploration games that helps kids learn more about themselves, helping them with their academic difficulties and also some gardening activities. We believe we are able to helps them with their academic skills especially mathematics and some English.

Reflection
First of all, I would like to express thank you and appreciation to our lecturer Ms Tay Shir Men for her guidance, commitment and her patience in teaching and giving us advised on this module. I am very fortunate to have benefited from this community services activity.
Besides that, I would also like to thank all my group-mates for all of their effort and so that we are able to carry out this event smoothly.
From the visit or progress of this assignment, I am able to improve my communication skills and had a chance to bond quality time with all my group-mates which we usually do not gather in such a big group to so something valuable and also determine the importance of teamwork in order to complete a task on time. I personally will not forget this memorable trips and this is our final year of our degree life.
