Introduction

The function of this report is to provide information concerning the actions takenduring the project. This is in conjunction with the requirements of General Studiesand at the request of our lecturer Mr. Arokia. In the project we have chosen to aidthe pediatric ward of Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah. We did so by changingthe ambience of the mini library by repainting and providing new furniture. Activitieswere done with the children in the ward to get to know the children and further better theoverall mood in the ward.

To achieve the goals of the project we were asked to think of methods to raise funds and then implement them. Our goals also serve as the measure of our success in the project.

Individual Report

1. Melvin Cheah

First of all, I would like to thank all the committees that helped throughout this project. The purpose of this project is to help the sick children that felt neglected or sad in the hospital. The destination of this project is Hospital Tunku Ampuan Rahimah. Our first visit to the hospital is to listento a short briefing about the do’s and don’ts by the person in charge.

After that, we are clear about the objectives and started raising funds for ‘The Day’. One of the ways of raising funds is to ask donations around the housing area in Damansara Jaya on 27/5/2013. I went there with Chloe, Vanessa and Young Wen. The responds was quite encouraging as we manage to collect some donations by some of the residence there. Besides that, our class had also organized a charity carnival on 5/6/2013. I tried to help as much as I could and turn out it wasn’t a waste of energy. The carnival was a great success because we manage to sell off all of our homemade spaghetti. Furthermore, we had also held another carnival on 19/5/2013 to sell off our remaining stocks.

After class on 12/6/2013, we went to Mydin to buy the items required by the hospital. We manage to get most of the items that are stated in the report. Because we couldn’t find all the items in Mydin, we also went to NSK to get the remaining items.

It was our first visit on 22/6/2013 at 2 p.m., we get ready our paint and the painting equipments to refurbish the play room. We painted the walls lime green because the colour is looks really bright and cheerful. We work together really well and finished our job earlier than we expected. After that, we cleaned the room and move in the new furniture when the paint had already dried. The furniture looks really good as the colour blend well with the colours of the wall.

It’s the big day for us – 29/6/2013. The event starts at 11 a.m.. We were put into a small room with a few kids. It was awkward at first because the children were too shy. Without any delay, we gave them a paper and a set of colour pencils for the drawing and colouring contest. The kids were too shy to draw but the problem was solved when Vanessa suggested all of us to draw with them. After that, we had chosen a few winners and the prizes was presented. I really enjoy spending time with the children because it was really fun to be with my group mates and the kids.

In conclusion, it was a great success and I am proud of my group mates for organizing such an amazing event ourselves. We gained a lot of experience throughout this project and also

manage to strengthen our bond among our group. I’ve also learned about teamwork as we overcome all the difficulties by working together throughout this whole project.

2. Ng Lee Sian

First of all, I would like to thank all the committees for helping in this project. The purpose of this project is to raise fund to support and help the sick children in Hospital. It is focuses on the pediatric ward of Hospital Tengku Ampuan Ramah that located in Klang. In order to reach our group target that is RM5000, the whole class had work together to organize a carnival which is called “Kid’s Hope”. We set up our personal booth for 3 different days together with the others two groups which in the 15 of May, 22 of May and 5 of June.

13 of May, I went to NSK with some of the committees to do a grocery shopping. I went there together with Chloe, Vanessa, Witnee, Youngwen, Steve and Melvin. It’s my very first time go to NSK surprisingly the things selling there are cheaper compare to other supermarket. After a few hours, we finally got all the stuff we need.

15 of May, It’s the day we set up our very first booth. This carnival was organized by class E1. Our class join them together along with C1. In the morning, we face some problem as there are not enough tables for us. So we go around to ask extra tables from inti stuff and finally we managed to get some to set up our booth. This event was start at 12pm to 5pm. Each of us did our own job, I’m in charge of the drinks and the money.

22 of May, it’s Kid’s hope carnival organized by our class and joining together with C1. The whole D1 was wearing red, I think reds really attract the attention from other people. This event started from 12pm to 5pm. Before that, I started decorate the booth and walked around the college to give out the delivery flyers together with Sin Yee, Brenda and Andrew. More and more customer coming and we are really satisfied. Suddenly, it’s raining like cats and dogs. We had to stop all the business. After it stop raining, we actually lose all the customers, less people coming. This force us to stop all the business before 5.

5 of June, this is our last time setting up a booth. As usual, we do all our jobs and enjoy this moment.

Through all these events, we faced some problems but we solved it together. We gained a lo of experience in organizing an event and also learn how to co-operate with each other. In a nutshell, thanks to all the committees and everyone involves.

Through this project, I have learnt that teamwork is very important to accomplish a task. We will likely have to use teamwork to collaborate with other members on this project. In a team, we can do things better as it brings in the strengths of many people. Everytime, we spilt the jobs into small, separate pieces then each of us will finish it as fast as we can.

I also learnt that we have to enjoy while working. While working on selling food, giving out flyers, cleaning together with other people, it is really fun. Although it is tired, it is very enjoyable. The moment when all the hard work really paid off, I just felt so happy. I think this is a really good experience.

Besides that, I learnt that helping is a simple action yet it brings so much happiness and joy to many people. Helping the kids in the hospital make me happy, playing with the kids we share the joy. Seeing the kids suffer from the illness, It makes me to feel appreciate of what I have.

Lastly, I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to help the sick children. And I feel precious because the “help” itself is valuable. This is really an unforgettable experience for me. Throughout the project, I’ve learnt so mush of things.

3. Ryan Chan Xiu Cheun

First of all, I would like to thank all of my friends and very helpful group members for doing their best to make this GNS/COMM project a success. The theme for our group is ‘Helping The Sick Children Project’. We decided to help out the pediatrics section in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, a hospital in Klang. But we had to raise funds first, so we collaborated with the other 2 groups in our class and set up Personal Booths on 22/5/2013 whereas the real Carnival was held on 5/6/2013.

A lot of preparation had to be done before the 2 dates, such as job delegation, preparation of food, accounting and other things. We also made a trip to check out the hospital on 8/5/2013 to discuss with the hospital staff about our project and to schedule the dates for our visits to the hospital. We go to the hospital on 22/6/2013 and 29/6/2013

22/5/2013 – The day of the personal booths. We hoped for the best results on that day, but for a handful of us, (especially me) were inexperienced with this sort of affairs, so it didn’t go very smoothly as at the end of the day, we didn’t reach our expected target. The next day, there was a group discussion held after GNS class, with the atmosphere which made everyone feel uneasy. We had to buck up and stay focused for the real thing on 5/6/2013.

28/5/2013 – The group leader, Jim and I went to Summit to collect some donations. I came up with an idea and put it to use, but during the time in Summit, not much was collected.

5/6/2013 – The big day, the real Fundraising Carnival. We were better prepared this time. Everything went better than I expected until, heavy rain hit our area. The tents where we were holding our carnival could have fell over if it wasn’t for a few people holding the tent legs in place. The rain stopped shortly after, but quite a few things got wet. Nevertheless, we still continued sales until the evening.

19/6/2013 – The class had another sale, to finish off the stock, but I was not present because of driving exam. So, I don’t really know what was going on.

22/6/2013 – We had our first real visit to the hospital. The staff gave us nametags to identify us. The mini library was not in good condition. We did our best, removing drawings and stickers from the wall, in order to paint the walls, and removing floor mats to be replaced with new ones. 3 of us lifted a very large cupboard out of there to put in a new one which is not unsightly.

This is the first time I experienced how to organize an event. We faced problems but we still overcame it. This whole project was a good experience, I’m sure, for all of us. In conclusion, I would like to thank the whole group, our lecturers Ms. Malini and Mr. Arokia, and everybody else who participated.

4. Teh Shi Yung

After we had informed by lecturer that we need to complete a service-learning project, my group had having a discussion and finally decided to do a charity work to help a government hospital which needs our helps. We had decided to choose Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah which located in Klang as our choice. After getting permission from the hospital, we were gone there for our first visit on 5th of May. After we arrived in the hospital, they brought us to sixth floor which is the children wad. My group and I were having a discussion on our project in a mini library with the people in charge for the hospital. We had decided to refurnish the mini library which originally looks dull into a brighter place for the sick children to stay in there.

Besides, my group members and I also were having a lot of discussion on the preparation for Carnival and Personal Booth. On 22nd of May, my group was having our first personal booth. We had decided to sell Popcorn Chicken, Chicken Finger, Mushroom Soup, and Root Beer Float on that day. Unfortunately, the weather condition on that day was not satisfactory. It was a windy day and it had caused our personal booth failed to progress smoothly. The sale on that day was unsatisfactory as we did not make any profit.

5th of June was our carnival day. We had combined it with the students from Section C1. Before the carnival start, some of my group members and I had promoted our carnival by giving out the flyer. It was quite hard for me on the beginning as I was not well in communicating and promoting. But, after promote it few times later; I begin to familiar with it. After the carnival start, my group and I start to sell the food. The food that we sell on that day was Spaghetti, Cheesy Fries, Sandwiches and also Root Beer Float. I was in charge to prepare the sandwiches and the respond was quite well and I fell so happy. 19th of June was our second Personal Booth day and we had sell spaghetti and Root Beer Float only. Besides organized personal booth and carnival to collect money, we also try to get donation from other peoples.

On 22nd of June, we visited the hospital to refurnish the mini library. We painted the wall with light green paint and replaced all the carpet and curtain. When we try to take out the carpet of the mini library, we saw urine on the floor. I was amazed of the teamwork of my group members because although we felt disgusting, we still managed to replace all the carpet with the new ones successfully. We also had visited the hospital for the second times on 29th of June. On that day, we were having activities with the sick children in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah. We had a drawing competition and we also gave the present to all the children that involved after the competition ended. We also sang few songs with the children to break the ice and get rid of the awkward atmosphere. After involved myself in this event, I feel like I was enjoy to join with the children and play with them happily.

Through this project, I have gained a lot of experience and learn a lot of things. All of this was unable to study through text book. Firstly, I have learnt about the importance of teamwork

between group members. In order to do well, teamwork is very important and I think my group members have done well and all of us can discuss things and done all the work together. Secondly, I had learnt about the important of communication. During this project, effective communication was helping us to done all the work and solved the entire problem well. Moreover, I also learn to play and communicate with the children as I didn’t get used to stay with the children before that.

Lastly, I would like to say thank you to all my group members, General Studies lecturer, Mr. Arokia and all the people that had involved in this project. Without the cooperation, encouragement and involvement from all the peoples, I believe this project will be very difficult and hard to accomplish our group's goal. I was very happy and feel appreciate that I have the chance to involve myself in this beneficial service-learning project. I also feel glad that we had success in making changes on someone’s life.

5. Chay Lyi Ann

In week 2 of The Foundation in Business IT program, my class, Section D1, have been assigned to serve in a community project. This project is a combined project for two subjects which are General Studies and Human Communication. This project has to be completed before our final exams. We were then split into three groups and started our project from then onwards.

My group had many discussions and various ideas regarding how to raise funds for this project. We have decided to help a government hospital which needs our help. We then chose Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah in Klang. After our proposal had been accepted, we went for our first visit on the 5th of May. We had problems in finding transport to get us there as it is quite a distance. We had a few discussions and our fellow group mate, Vanessa, managed to get a van to send all of us there. When we have arrived, we had to wait for quite some time because the service was terrible! We were only attended by the person in charge half an hour later.

She brought us up the sixth floor to look around and brought us to the mini library to discuss our project a little further. After all the hassle, the management of the hospital was glad that we are lending a hand to help not only the hospital but also the children there. We also took a closer look at the mini library and decided to make the room a brighter place. From then onwards, we discussed on how we should have the room and what to buy for the children.

Not long after, we had our first combined carnival with the other sections as well. It took a lot of planning and paperwork for the whole event. It was not easy. 22nd of May was the first carnival and it was as windy as ever. We had to deal with the wind and also the competition all around us. It was very challenging. On that day, we sold popcorn chicken, mushroom soup, chicken fingers (nuggets) and also A&W floats. Our sales were not good that day because of the lack of cooperation among members. Most of us were very frustrated and it was one of the factors that affected the sales. We did not make any profit on that day.

On the consequent day, we had a meeting to voice out how we felt about the carnival we had the day before. Some of them weren’t being helpful and most of us were not quite happy about that. After the meeting, everything was made clear to everyone and we tried to work things out. Since we did not make much money for the first fund raiser, the top management decided to collect donations from housing areas to boost our funds. Only a few of them went and the results of the donations were satisfying.

5th of June was or second carnival and we only joined with Section C1 this time. It was again very competitive but we did not give up easily. My group mates and I set up the materials we needed and start selling our food as fast as we can. We sold spaghetti, cheesy fries, sandwiches and also A&W floats on that day. I started to hand out the flyers to promote the carnival held. The response was good because there were finally people who started to get the delivery service. It was a very busy day for us and I saw that our group was doing effectively and we earned more than what we have expected.

A week later, all of us went to the Mydin shopping centre to buy items for the necessary items that the hospital requires. We managed to get almost everything that they needed and we were proud of what we were capable of. It then slowly lessens our burden as we had enough money to buy the items. We also bought other things that we thought they needed.

The following week which was 19th of June, we had our last and final carnival. My group sold spaghetti and root beer floats only. Everyone was much drained out and no one seemed to be interested in our carnivals as we already had so many. Vanessa and Chloe went to get donations whereas the rest of us stayed back to open the stall. We had customers without even promoting much and managed to sell almost all of what we prepared! The money earned that day was again satisfying.

With all these money in hand, we have decided to buy more items for the hospital to make it a better place. On the 18th of June, our leader, Jim, and I went to buy furniture for the hospital. The store owner even gave us free delivery because we are doing this for charity. It was really very kind of him. On Saturday, 22nd of June, we visited the hospital to refurnish the mini library. Before that, we waited for the furniture to arrive so that they could bring it up to the sixth floor. While they were setting up the furniture, the rest of us started painting the room, cleaning the walls, mopping the floor and taking out the old furniture. It was really a good time for us as it helped us to bond as a group and get to know each other better. Looking at our end results, we were very satisfied and left with smiles on our faces although we were totally worn out.

On the 29th of June, we visited the hospital again. This was going to be our last visit and we wanted to leave something there to remember. On this day, we had activities with the children. Not all were capable of doing activities but those who could manage to join us. We had a drawing competition and gave prizes to the children to appreciate their hard work. I was there playing the guitar as an entertainment for the kids. I believed they enjoyed the time they had with us. We cleaned up the place and took a last look at the changes we made. We were very proud of ourselves. We left with joyful hearts knowing that we have made a difference.

In this long term of project, I have learnt so many things that no one could ever teach me. This experience taught me how to be independent and learn how to respect others as we all have different opinions. It also taught me to be a more patient person because rushing can bring me nowhere. I have also learned that we have to be responsible for our own actions and responsibilities. Our actions can affect others and therefore I see the need to be careful of how I speak and act. No words can explain how much I have learnt from this project and how much it has benefited me in my life.

I would like to give special thanks to the lecturers, Mr. Arokia Raj and Ms. Malini for helping and guiding us through this tough times and encouraging us to do our best to serve the less fortunate. In addition, I would also like to say thank you to every single group member, Jim, Vanessa, Steve, Melvin, Chloe, Wit Nee, Young Wen, Lee Sian, Abigail, Shi Yung and Ryan for

their hard work in making this a successful project, without the help of one person, we might not even make it so far. I am proud that we have exceeded our target and are able to serve the community in a way that is so beneficial to me. I am glad that we could make a change in someone else’s life and make the impossible, possible.

In general studies subject, we were required to complete a community project. The objective of the project is to help the unfortunate children. We were divided to three groups and we will be working together to achieve this objective. After divided into group, we started to contribute ideas to raise funds for this community project. We decided to help the unfortunate sick children of a government hospital of Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah in Klang after conducting some research.

During meetings, the leader delegated the task and listed out the objectives of this project so that every group member has a clearer vision of this project. We also have set a target which is to obtained up to RM6,000 for donations through this project. Although it seems difficult to achieve, but it motivated us to work harder in order to reach this goal. We have shared ideas of how to raise funds for this project and planed actions such as organizing a fundraising carnival and collecting donations from housing areas. Our secretary, Vanessa has also prepared a timeline for this whole project in order to have a more organize plan. In addition, we have tried to collect sponsorship from other sources but unfortunately we didn’t get a replied from every sponsors requests sent.

On the 8th of May, we have our first visit to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah. We faced our first obstacle which is finding a transport to reach there. But fortunately, we managed to rent a van and all of us are able reached the hospital safely. When we arrived, we waited a period of time before the person-in- charge showed up. She brought us to a mini library so we can explain our objectives to her. She was grateful because we managed to have this kind of project which can help out a lot for the sick children. When we were going to leave, they shook our hands tightly. I can feel their thankfulness and appreciation. We also have discussed and decided to refurnish the mini library so the children can have a better place to study.

We have made arrangements and preparations of the food, tables and chairs for the first fundraising carnival on the 22th May 2013 at Inti International College Subang ground floor. We decided to sell popcorn chicken, mushroom soup, chicken fingers and root beer on the day. That day was a windy day and this was a challenge for us because it was difficult to set up our booth. There were once when our paper cup and plastic containers are blown away and dropped to the floor by the wind. Besides that, the location of our booth is at the corner as it can get difficult to the get attention of the customers. Some of my group mates and I walked around our college to sell our food. After the carnival has ended, I felt sad because our sales were under our expectation that day. We didn’t manage to gain any profits.

On the 5th of june, we have our second carnival. We decided to change our venue to IICS plaza because this place is larger and it can attract more customers as more people will pass by there. All of us wore red and this has successfully caught people’s attention. We set up the booth and start selling our food such as spaghetti, cheesy fries, sandwiches and root beer float. My group

mates and I walked around the school compound to give out flyer to promote our carnival. The sales were good that day and everyone has given much effort to make this carnival a success. But unfortunately, there is a sudden heavy rain pour and everyone was shocked by this situation. Despite the carnival was being held under the tents, the wind is still strong so we quickly kept our food so that it would not get soak by the rain. The customers were greatly reduced after the rain but overall the carnival ended up with a good response. We have successfully made a higher profit than expected. Although it was tiring, but I am delighted because the team work spirit and connection of our group mates are strengthen after this carnival.

On the 12th of june, we went to Mydin shopping center to buy the list of items needed by the hospital which they sent to us. With the donations we earned, we managed to fulfill almost all the items. We also bought maps and curtains for the decoration of the mini library. When buying these items, we also have considered the suitability of the items for the safety of the children.

A week later which is on 19 June 2013, we held another carnival. We sold spaghetti and root beers only that day because we have managed to reach our goals from the donations and profits we earned last few weeks. My group mates and I gave out the flyer again during this carnival. The sales were again good that day and the food we prepared have almost finished. We were satisfied with this response.

On the same week which is 22th of June, we visited the hospital to refurnish the mini library. Everyone was doing their tasks such as painting the wall, mopping the floor, cleaning the walls and hanging up the curtains. We have also placed the new tables and cabinet we bought for this mini library because we saw the furniture has quite aged that day. The mini library is clean and bright after our efforts. We were happy and satisfied with the results. Our hard works paid off.

On 29th of June, we visited the hospital again. We were going to have activities with the children this time. We had a drawing competition and the title is “The Things We Most Like”. We also involved in this drawing activity in order to get closer with the children. I enjoyed the moment spent with the children and felt glad while seeing them had really put in effort in drawing. My group mates, Lyi Ann acted as a guitarist that day and we have sang songs together. The interaction between us and the children are harmonious. The prizes are given to the winner and the children really have loved the prizes. The days ended with laughter and I believed everyone have enjoyed their time with the children.

In this project, I have learned a lot of things. First, I learnt to communicate with others when completing this project. It taught me to give my opinion in a proper ways because it may lead to conflicts if there is a misunderstanding through communication. Next, I also learnt the important of teamwork because every team members has the responsibility and unique roles for the project. Teamwork is the key of success because when everyone is putting their effort in, the activity can be completed efficiently. It also taught me to be active listener. When other members are giving

out their viewpoints, I leant to understand and listen to all the messages without interrupting before giving out my own opinion. This is to respect other team members to avoid conflicts.

I would like to thank my group mates, Jim, Vanessa, Chloe, Lyi Ann, Wit Nee, Young Wen, Lee Sian, Shi Yung, Steve, Melvin and Ryan by putting a lot of effort for making this project successful. Last but no least, many thanks to our lecturers, Mr Arokia Raj for his assistance and guidance and give us the opportunity to help the unfortunate children. We managed to reach our goals and objectives after our hard works and I have gained a lot of experience in this community project that I cannot get in other places.

7. Young Wen

After the constructive discussion, we have narrow down the option of place that we going to visit either are hospital or orphanage. The outcome of the discussion was all of us are consensual choose to visit the hospital as we thought the orphanage always will get the sponsor and donation from the regular organisation or public. Public are less concern about the facilities, condition and environment of the hospital as they thought the hospital should gain the sponsor from government.

Before visit the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahman, I feel very excited since this was the first project I need to visit the place with my group member then only report can be prepare. Further, this was also my first charities project that I need to raise the fund through different way so that my group can have sufficient fund to buy some commodity and furniture to donate to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahman. During discussion, we had suggested few ways to raise the fund.

I feel very disappointed and flustered as we had making loss during the procedures of raise fund through selling foods and drinks in the first carnival day. I am worry that we cannot raise sufficient fund and achieve the target as I thought the amount of money we need to be collected is consider too high for us. The high probability of the reason might be we did not pry into the price of other competitors. We only realize that the selling price we set is too high compare to other competitors. Further, we also did not take appropriate action to react the competitive environment as all of us are less of experience of trading. However, we did not give up and cheer each other. Then, we had decided to raise funds through visit the resident home and from other public we meet around. Moreover, we also continue to selling the foods and drinks at second and third days of carnival by reduce the selling price. Finally, I feel very happy as we had achieved the target and raised sufficient funds.

During visit the hospital, I feel disgusting when I saw the urine stains on the carpet of the mini library of the hospital. I had replaced the carpet and curtain. When I am going to replace the curtain, I can feel that I want to sneeze as the curtains really contain a lot of dust and that is long time not being clean by the cleaner. Before the session of drawing and singing start, I feel the children were very stranger and we have no interaction with each other. I feel wonderful when I involve in the session of drawing and singing with the children who are the patient stay in hospital. I fell that I had become a close friend of the children.

After visit the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahman, I only realize that the condition and facilities of the Hospital is not good as I think before visit the hospital. Thus, I hope the government can take more concern about the facilities and environment of this Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahman and made some improvement on it so that the patient can enjoy more comfortable, clean, convenient and health facilities and environment of this hospital. Lastly, I also want to thank to my group member and lecturer Mr. Arokia as their cooperation and assist had made the charity project completed successful.

8. Yap Wit Nee

I am WitNee, from Inti International College, Subang. I feel glad that General Study subject was included in this semester. It teaches us how to study in college and how do we manage our college life wisely. So, we were grouped for 12 members in our group to complete a group project. Our group was chosen a title of “Helping Sick Children” project, which we were planning to raise funds for the kids who are in need or having health problems, in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah which is a government hospital in Klang.

After we get the wish list from the hospital, we found that the hospital actually in need for help. So, to fulfill the hospital’s wish list, we aimed to raise RM 5000.00 to buy the stuffs that required by the hospital. So, to achieve our goal, we had few meetings and three times fund raising carnivals within two months.

Our first carnival is on 22nd of May. So, 2 days before the carnival, I’ve followed my group members to NSK hypermarket to buy the food and the things that needed in the carnival. After that, I helped to keep some of the light stuffs such as plastic fork, spoon and straw to divide the things equally so that each of us not to be keeping too much of things. Our first carnival took place at the main entrance. In the carnival, I helped all the groups to order the ice. I know, without ice, we are unable to do our beverages. I have called the ice sender repeatedly for pressing him because we need the ice urgently. So I left the booth for a while to inform the guard to let in the lorry.

Once the lorry was arrived, we were so happy because we can start to make our beverages. But that was sad case too because I payed the foreign worker for the ice without asking the amount. But he gave back the wrong amount of changes to me. I didn’t realize that at the moment but when the other group want to pay it back to me, I can’t even give their treasurer an exact amount because I myself also didn’t know about the amount. Besides, our board was blocking the wind, so the board was falling for few times. Some of our group members who was cooking in front of the board, hit by the falling board at their head. So, since there were members cooking and working at the booth, so I helped to hold the board to avoid the members hit by the board again. After this, we found that our root beer was left quite a lot so me and Abigail decided to promote it at all the levels by lift. After the carnival, all the members were cleaning the surrounding of the booth. Although we was earned, but still a lot of the food was left after the carnival.

Next, is about our second carnival, on 5th of June. It took place at the middle of the plaza so we have tents for our booths. As usual, I was the one who ordering the ice. There are more students passing by the plaza so we have more customer than the first carnival. Since there are more customers so I have to help to make the beverages. When our main chefs have left, I was taking the responsibility to sell the spaghetti. Besides, I also went to ask for donation from the students with my member, Lyi Ann. Although it was not easy but we tried our best to do it. On that day, we really faced a bad weather. The wind was blew and rained heavily. The tent was moving. So

some of our members was holding the tent. Otherwise, the tent will fall and all of us may be injured because me and my members was keeping the things that messy blew by the strong wind.

On 19th June, the third carnival, I brought the stuffs from my room after college. Since the student room that I stay didn’t have refrigerator, so before the carnival, I had to to First Subang to buy ice-cream for our root beer float because it was out of stock at all the grocery shops around college. As usual, I ordered the ice but since I was outing to buy something, so I pass the job to other member. I did to boil the spaghetti when it approached to finish. Otherwise we have to wait for our chefs, it will bring us to a loss. So I just tried to do what I could.

On the 22nd of June, we have our real visit to the hospital. This is the second time we visited to the hospital. For this time, we went there for the mini library painting and modifying the arrangement of furniture in the mini library because this required by the hospital. Firstly, we took out all the existing mats and old cupboards. I was helping to remove the old mat although it was a very bad condition in the room and there is stinky ammonia smell under the mats. Besides, I helped to paint the wall, just for fun at the beginning, but I like it. That’s why I was unwilling to put down the paint brush that I hold at the beginning. After we done painting, I helped to put in the hook on the curtain. After that, we rearranged the new furniture in the room, done. But we still short of 2 mats. So we decided to bring it on the next visit.

On 28th of June, I’ve followed my group members to Mydin Mall to buy the mats and presents for the children in the hospital. In the mall, we searched for the curtains, mats, and some souvenirs as present. We decided to buy the stationery sets for the kids because it is useful for them, and save to use.

Finally, our last visit to the hospital was over, on 29th of June. We went to put another set of curtain and mats. Besides, we also entertained the sick children. We got a good idea to let them have a drawing competition in the playing room. Only a few were took part but the enjoy it. We found that the kids were shy when they got in the room, so we decided to activate them by communicate with them. I’ve asked a shy Indian girl to draw but unfortunately she couldn’t hold the pen. So I asked for her favourite cartoon and I drew for her, a ‘Jerry The Mouse’ drawing. Although the drawing was sucks, at least I tried to communicate with the child. After that, we gave out all the presents for the children. They were very happy on it.

In the group project, I can’t deny that some conflict occurred but we managed to solve it in the meetings. I’ve learnt that communications lead to understanding, and caring comforts people that in troubles. We did our project successfully with the corporation from my group members. I would like to thanks all my group members for their concern and tolerating in the whole project.

9. Chloe Liew Ker Yee

First of all, I would like to thank all the committees for helping in this project. We’ve organized a charity fund raising event. The main objective of this project is to raise fund and to help the sick children in the hospital. We’ve been having three times of charity carnivals. We had planned to go hospital and visited the unfortunate kids. The destination of this project is Hospital Tunku Ampuan Rahimah. We’ve visited to the hospital for three times. Our first visit to the hospital is to listen to a short briefing about the guidelines and also to discuss about the activities that would be held in the hospital.

Besides, Vanessa, Melvin, Young Wen and me went to the housing area in Damansara Jaya to ask for donations on 27/05/2013. We’ve collected some donations from the residence over there. Then, our class had organized a charity carnival on 5/6/2013. Vanessa, Melvin and Young Wen came to my house to cook the food that would be selling during the carnival. We manage to sold out the foods and also manage to get some donations from the students. We also organized another carnival on 19/06/2013 to sell drinks and spaghetti.

Futhermore, we went to Mydin after our class end on 12/06/2013. We bought the items that required by the hospital yet we couldn’t find all the items that were stated in the report . We also went to NSK to buy the remaining items. Moreover, our second visit to the hospital on 22/06/2013. We’ve painted the walls in the mini library room. The colour of the paint is lime green because it means youthfulness and playfulness. We had cleaned the library room and changed new curtain before we move in the new furniture into the library room. In addition, Vanessa, Witnee, Young Wen and me went to Mydin again to buy prizes and gift for the kids. We’ve planned to carry out some activities with the kids.

It’s the big day for us – 29/06/2013. We went to hospital by 10 a.m. We’ve organized a drawing contest for the kids. All of us draw together with the kids and also sing together with the kids. We’ve presented the prizes to the winner and also gave the gift to the rest competitors. We had also took some pictures with the kids before we leave.

Through this charity project, we gained a lot of experiences and also learned how to co-operate with each other. Teamwork is really important to achieve a goal. We really did a successful project and exceeded our target. I feel glad that helping someone who is really needs help.

10. Vanessa Tan

When I first heard about this project, I was fairly excited, as this is my first charity project. I have learned a lot from this project and I have no regrets doing it. This project has taught me of how important it is to have teamwork. I feel that this project would not have achieved its goal if there were no corporation between the group members. I am very happy that our group managed to gather enough funds to the extent that we have exceed our objective. We aimed to raise RM5K but we managed to gather roughly around RM7K. I think this is a great accomplishment and we couldn’t have done it without a proper strategy.

This project has also taught me how to deal with problems. There are several obstacles along the process of this project. Some of the problems were such as getting scolded by the residence, getting complains from the residence management, and a few conflict inside the group. However, for each problem, we managed to find a way to solve it. This project had really given me a great experience of how we should deal with people of different personalities. These problems had not only made us stronger, but it also made us closer to each other.

I’m really happy to be given this opportunity to carry out this project because it has been life changing for me. This project has shown us the reality of poverty and it really open my eyes of how it is for the people in need. I have never felt so satisfied for helping the hospital to provide a more cheerful environment by refurbishing the mini library room for the sick children. The look on the children face when they received their gift was priceless. I find it amazing how a simple gift could make them so happy. Other than that I was able to develop a new skill along this project. I was able to learn how to paint as painting the wall is part of the activity we need to do in this project. All in all, I thought this project has been great and I’m glad that we have successfully carried it out until the end.

11. Steve Lum

First of all, I would like to give my thanks and appreciation to all the member of this group that made this assignment successful. This assignment is started on the 23rd of April and is carried out in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah which is located in Klang with a goal to help the children in need in the hospital. The first visit to the hospital is carried out doing the 2nd week in order to ensure what improvement is needed to be done. Transportation are provided by Vanessa Tan and Chloe Liew to the hospital from Inti College. By visiting the hospital, we were welcomed and shown around in the children department floor which is in Level 6 by the officer in charge and what caught our attention is their Children Library which is in a very bad state. Pictures of the children library are taken by Melvin Cheah and by referring to the pictures, we are able to take notice of the things that are needed to be replaced and thus, everyone in the group made up their mind to refurnish the whole Children Library. A list of items that are required are given by the hospital staff as well.

During the 3rd week of the assignment, we have planned a list of ingredients that are needed for an upcoming carnival and were bought from NSK which promises warehouse pricing. The transportation are again, provided by Chloe Liew and Vanessa Tan from Inti College. We manage to purchase all the ingredients needed for the carnival such as plastic containers, plastic fork and spoon , spaghetti , Chicken Popcorn, French Fries , root bears , and ice cream.

After that, a fund raising carnival was held after class in front of Inti College together with the rest of the groups and other classes. The food and drinks that are being sold in our group were Fried Chicken popcorns , French Fries, rootbear and rootbear floats. Food and drinks were being prepared and sold by Vanessa, Chloe, Witnee , Abigail , Lee Sian ,Young Wen, while me , Melvin ,Ann, Jim and Ryan were advertising the food by handing out the leaflets and selling the food around Inti. However, the outcome in the end of the day did not meet our target. Regardless, we did not lose hope and promises to do better for the 2nd and 3rd upcoming carnival.

A second carnival was held on the 4th week of the assignment in Metropolitan car park and the food and drinks that are being sold in my group are Fried Chicken popcorns , French Fries, sandwiches, Spaghetti Bolognese, rootbear and rootbear floats. Food and drinks are being prepared by me, Vanessa, Chloe, Witnee , Abigail , Lee Sian and Young Wen while advertising was done by Jim and Lyi Ann ,and Melvin as the cameraman. The Spaghetti Bolognese which are being sold and prepared by Vanessa Tan in our group receive the most ratings and the outcome of the end of the day are really satisfying and we have succeeded our target as well. However, our sales did not last due to the bad weather of heavy rain and wind but I believe that we have done an excellent work together as a team.

A third carnival was held on the 5th week of the assignment in front of Inti College. However, we have shorten down the list of the food menu with only our top rated Spaghetti Bolognese and

root beer floats. Me,Witnee,Vanessa, Chloe and Ann are in charge of preparing and selling the food while Abigail, Lee Sian and Young Wen are in charge of preparing the drinks. Besides that, Vanessa and Chloe manage to ask for donations from the students of Inti College, McDonals and Starbucks as well and Melvin took pictures of the whole event with all his effort and sweat. We manage to sell nearly all of the food at the end of the day and I am really satisfied and grateful of the teamwork done by this group.

On the 6th week of this assignment, we went to MYDIN in order to purchase all the items needed to refurnish the hospital and to provide the items that the hospital are lacking of. The transportation are once again provided by Vanessa Tan and Chloe Liew from Inti College to MYDIN after class. WE manage to bought several items such as clear folders, files, metal fork and spoons, plastic cups, plastic plates and bowls, water dispenser, floor mat, curtains, stationary sets, portable air conditioner and a bright green colour paint in order to refurnish the hospital’s children library on the 3rd day.

A 2nd visitation to the hospital is carried out with a purpose to refurnish the library room. Soon after we reach the hospital, we carried all the items into the hospital entrance in order for it to be carried up after. After that, we waited for the furniture such as the work desk and chairs, cabinet and children’s table to arrive to the hospital. In a short while, the furniture had arrived and we requested the furniture to be assembled on the children library floor . We were being escorted by the guards of the hospital to the Children Library Room in level 6 due to safety reasons. Right after we got into the Children library room, there’s an awful stench of urine and vomit. In order to prevent the smell, each of us were given a face mask by the officers of the hospital.After that, we started removing the old floor mat and moving the old furnitures out and we found out that there’s a lot of urine and vomit stain on the floor beneath the floor mat, which explains the awful stench. Immediately, we place a few sheet of newspapers on the floor and we peeled off the stickers on the wall in order to repaint the room. Painting was done by me, Melvin, Vanessa, Chloe and Witnee with all our effort. In the end, the colour and mood of the room is brighter and calm compared to before. Few staff of the department were very happy with the new colour and offered their thanks to us although they are busy.After that, the floor was swept and mopped by Ann which successfully clear the horrible stench of the room. Then, we place the new floor mat on the floor and moved the new furniture into the library room. Right after that, the new curtains are brought up onto the window. The changes of the room after refurnish is very satisfying to everyone of us as the result are very obvious.

A 3rd invitation to the hospital was carried out on the 7th week of the assignment which is on the 29th of June with a goal to visit the children and to entertain them. This activity was carried out in the Children’s play room in level 6. Those children were very shy at first, so everyone of us tried to talk to them and comfort them in order to break their ice. Then,few activities such as drawing competition and participation is carried out for the children. Some of us manage to get them to participate by joining them for the drawing competition and Lyi Ann manage to enlighten the mood of everyone by playing the guitar which able to get the children into singing.

After that, the winners of the drawing competition is announced but anyhow, both winners and losers got the price as we believe that they tried their best and it is just for fun and games. In the end, it left them with a smile on their faces which are satisfying for the whole group member.

Lastly, I am very satisfied of this whole assignment. Although we faced some problems throughout the assignment, we manage to solve it together and tried to learn from it. I have gain a lot of experiences in such charitable event and teamwork which lead to a better understanding towards each other and how to co-operate with each other. In a nutshell, thanks to all the member of this awesome group and our lecturer, Mr Arokia Raj for his support and guidance throughout this assignment.

The project has been a great experience. I got to work with great people, got to helppeople and had a lot of fun doing so. Our group decided to help the pediatric wardof Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah by refurbishing and repainting the mini libraryin the ward. We have also decided to have fun activities with kids in the ward as well.In our group meetings we had mainly discussed the allocation of duty and also the ways to raise funds for the hospital. Our first visit to the hospital was on the 5th of May. We had some transportation problemsbut Vanessa was able to get us a van. Upon reaching the hospital it took some for the hospital to attend to us but when they did we managed to get more information about theward and had a look at it.

On the 28th of May I went around USJ 2 and The Summit USJ to get donations. I hadmet with some old friends to get some advice on how to get about this as I have neverdone this before. I had also met with a generous friend of my family who donated 1000RM to our cause. Some of the residents I had asked donated some money. Ryan was there to assist me in The Summit USJ. We managedto get a few donations from a few shops there

On the 22nd our group was at the hospital to refurbish and paint the mini library. Wehad chosen a very vibrant lime green coloured paint and bought plenty of new furniture.We have also supplied the hospital with cups, forks, spoons and water dispensers. Howeverthe great part was not the giving or the decision to carry out the action but the process. Itwas fun to bring a new face to the mini library and really felt great to do some good. I can’t really explain it but I forgot about myself while painting and was really focused on it.

On the 29th of May we went to the hospital again but this time to play and get to know thechildren better. Unfortunately Mr. Arokia was not able to join us because of important matters he had to attend to. When we first started the activity the children did not respond well because they did not know us. Vanessa suggested we join in the activity aswell and this helped break the ice. It was fun to sing along with the others and the childrenand I am sure everyone enjoyed this day as well.

The journey to reach our goals was certainly not easy. I must say everyone did a great jobgetting funds to help the hospital especially during the days we had organized carnivals or set up booths in the INTI College Subang Campus with the rest of the class. To meit was all about having fun and doing some good.

This is the first time that I had helped a government hospital in this manner. It has alsochanged my view on organizing events and activities. To sum it all of it was certainlyan experience I won’t forget and a big thank you to everyone who made this happen.

Objectives

-Raise at least RM 5000 worth of funds (completed, raised RM 6500) -Repaint the mini library in the pediatric ward (Completed)-Refurbish the mini library (Completed, was also able to provide furniture for the play room)-Provide for the needs of the ward (Completed)

Overall the completion of the objectives has provided the ward with a better environment for the children and improvement in the administration of the ward. This gives the children a better place to get better in and allows the hospital to keep records better thus leading to quicker response to the needs of the children.

Problems and Challenges Faced

1. Getting funds- We managed to overcome this with the support of our group members and with the support of others

2. Choosing the furniture- The furniture needed to be suitable for children and at the same time attractive- The shops contacted could not meet the time requirements of the delivery to the hospital- Overcome the problem by finding an alternative shop which could provide the furniture on time and provide quality furniture

3. To repaint or to apply wallpaper- Initially wallpaper was chosen - The contractor was not able to provide some who knew how to apply it- At the end we chose to repaint the walls of the mini library- Lime green colored paint was chosen as the paint to be used

4. Transportation - Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah is located in Klang- Most of the group members do not reside there (only 2 do)- Initially we hired a van - That option was too expensive and from there we decided to find our own transportation- We could only get 2 cars thus 2 members have to take an alternative method - Used a taxi but found it too expensive- Using the KTM and then a taxi was found to be much more affordable and easier

GUEST(S) OF HONORFULL NAMEDESCRIPTIONFULL NAME

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTWe are a group of student formed to help the severely sick children in the hospital. In order to raise the appropriate fund, we would like to visit the hospital once to have a clear view of what is needed for the children.

The objective of this whole project is to give hope and motivation to the children especially to those that undergo a lot of pain. This project is also done to allow sick children to feel happy and not neglected. We would also like to help the children that aren’t able to afford certain treatment due to financial issues. We believe that every child has the right to live like a normal child and to be given proper attention. We also believe that every child has the right to a good quality of life, no matter how ill they are. So we raise money to support individuals and organisations so that sick children can receive the highest quality care, advice and support.

Whether that's through providing nurses, equipment, carers or toys, working with hospitals and care organisations or directly with patients, we want to improve the lives of seriously ill children in Malaysia.

We think that's a marvellous thing to do. We hope you agree.

Conclusion

Throughout the project we have overcome obstacles and problems, helped run a carnival,repainted the mini library and most of all had fun. We had learned a lot about teamworkand overcoming conflicts from this project. This project has also strengthened our relationships and we can certainly work better as a team. Organizing events to raise fundshas certainly given us experience in organizing events and has improved our planning skills. Everyone has certainly learned something from this and will definitely not forget this experience.Communication was vital to this project’s success and without it we would definitely not be ableto work together and get the hospital’s permission. To sum it all up the project is definitely a beneficial one not only to us but those who we were able to help and it is also fun to boot.
