WEEK 1

      We be introduced to Community Service Initiative course to the first week. Basically we involved in the project that need to help Saku Temuan orang asli in Ulu Melaka to rebuild the reading area. The condition of the library now is bad and most of the books are not suitable for the kids there. Some of the tables and chair are broken and not safe to be used anymore. The aim of the project is to provide a better reading environment for the children and encourage the kids go to school as most of the children there plan to quit even before UPSR. 

     Diploma student already went to the site for measurement easier for us to count the tables, chairs, amount of the paint and stuff. I really appreciate their effort as the place will take an hour to reach. 

     After the lecture explaining about the project, we assigned to different group to find sponsorship. There are stationery, paints, furniture and books group where I am in the group of books with Lulu, Jun Wei, Kimberly and Joyi. We need to collect the book that are suitable for the age 4-18 years old for the library. 

     We had a small discussion and distribute the task. For the first week, we planned to look for books from our own house first as we still dont know how the method of collect books. I go back and check and find out most of the books is Chinese books. So only some of the SPM books can be donated. However the condition of the book is still good. 

     I really cant wait to know that how much books we can collect at the end ! 

Notes for first Week.

Our target for this weeks is 200 books. The plan of giving brochure to collect books was not that effective as plan. This week, we tried to approach to the people other from Taylors University. I printed A5 size black and white brochure and ask one by one of my neighbor house. I went for 2 days and around 50 houses.First day was just around 5 books i collected as I think the method I passed the message was not clear enough as I only ask :'Do you have any books to donate for the kids ?' as I was too shy to ask. 5 Books Collected On First Day During the second day, I change ...

This week we tried to find the manage department to ask  the permission for pasting the poster around the campus but we did not manage to see the officer due to they were not around. During the third time, an officer from another department gave us a contact number of the management department. We contact the people before we go so that we can ensure the people are in the office as most of the time they would not be around due to events and meetings. We also did a slide for Group 4 regarding the numbers of the bookshelf needed and the method of coding as they mention plan drawing task could not be proceed due to the lack of information of the coding method and the number of bookshelf. Hence book group had a meeting to discuss the number of shelf needed and the method of coding. The meeting outcome is the method of coding need to be easy to understand and easy to be made.
