My Reflection

VOLUNTEER WORK THAT HAS GIVEN ME A NEW  INSIGHT.

Description

      

Having a strong adoration for kids, I have involved myself in a sport day for orphans organized by WACKY on 20th of September 14, which is known as ASOL( a sport of love ). This event was aimed to provide an opportunity for the orphans to experience the atmosphere of a sport day and also to open up a platform for the college students to gain experience in taking care of small children. Having heard about the recruitment of the committee members for that event,I signed up without any hesitation.  As a part of the security team, my job was to take care of the children's safety throughout the event.

I am the youngest child of my family so I have always wanted a little brother or sister as I grow older. Signing up for this event was mainly due to my passion in taking care of small children and partly due to my heart of doing community service. Young children are always labeled as the pain in the neck or the annoyance one in the family. However, after participating in this event, I have noticed that a good way of communication could actually build a strong relationship between you and the child. We woke up at 5.30 am to reach UCSI international school to have all the preparation done. After all, I felt that the sacrifice of my sleep worth at the end.

Evaluation

The most memorable part of it was the interaction with one of the orphans from Rumah Aman, whose name is Aiman. At the age of 6, his thinking was so mature which had indeed taken me aback. He told me that life still goes on without his parents and he believed in the bright future ahead of him with his family from Rumah Aman. That short but fruitful conversation with a young child like him made me feel ashamed of myself when I felt like giving up during my hectic life as an A'Level student.

Plan

As my mother is a primary tuition teacher, I was provided lots of opportunity to interact with young kids. Nevertheless, it was my first time to communicate with orphans. The difference was actually I had to think more carefully before establishing a conversation with them. Thus, to reticulate this problem, I am actually planning to visit more orphanages in the future.
