Well not too long ago, Han decided to start off a project within our group of friends to contribute back to society.We are after all out of school and should do our part starting now to give back :) Besides, it will be a good way for us all to meet more as we tend to get "clique sick" a whole lot easier when we're in college.. so by carrying out this project we actually get to hang out more and for a noble cause at that.. There are currently 10 of us involved which includes Han, Horng Qing, Serene, Sabs, Kah Yung, Kar Tong, Pei Yeen, Adam, Jun Herng and me ;p
So after the many many weeks of meeting and planning, we finally chose our selected home which is Rumah Sayangan. Rumah Sayangan happens to house 15 young children ranging from the ages of 4 to 15. Our first meeting was with the care taker, Miss Susan. She's indeed a very nice woman, though she may look a little intimidating at first, she really is very sweet and only wants the best for her children.
After deciding the best suited times and methods, we started of our first week of assessments. Basically, we just talked to each and every child. We helped them open up into sharing their troubles in schools, their weakest subjects as well as their strongest. It was overall a very interesting experience as it led us into understanding them better.
We came back two weeks after to start of with our lessons. Some of the children seemed reluctant to study on a weekend at first, but once we warmed up to them and exposed them to a more interactive and fun environment, they just hopped on and started learning. Most of the tutors managed to cover their allotted subjects within the time given and it was indeed time well spent.
The children maybe very playful but when it was crunch time, they did listen with a little bit of threat from their care taker :) even though our classes are on weekends, times we treasure the most to just kick it back and relax from our chaotic weeks, we still value the smiles and satisfactions more to be willing to keep coming back in the future.
