WEEK 11
Week 11 is transformation week. Most of the transformations such as painting, moving in of new furniture, and arranging the books on the book shelf was be done.
I did not went to the site instead, me and my group mates were looking for as much books as we can during this week as this is the last week to collect books and we only collected 800 books even after collected the books from juniors. 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.
During the second day, I change the way I asked with clear intention and to who: ' Good Afternoon, I am from Taylors University, I am here to ask do you have any books suitable for the age 4-17 years old to donate to the orang asli children in Serendah?' I was surprisingly most of the people answer me with more friendly tone and 20% of them willing to try to ask for their family members whether have the books within the category.
I think this experience was amazing as a chance was given to me to speak to my neighbor as I never speak to them even I had move to this neighborhood for more than 6 years. Some of them invited me to come into the house while waiting them to find books but I rejected politely and say I will be back later as I do not want to waste time.
The most memorable house is a house only got 2 people which are the grandma and her grandchild. When I ask the lady whether they have any books, the lady said no and rejected me. However, the girl ask her grandmother to wait and she try to look for books. She is only 5 years old and the book she pass to me seems like she is still using. I ask her one more time to ensure she do not need that book anymore than I only take. She let me see the purest side of a children that they will help people out if they could without any hesitation. Sometimes, we been thinking too much to not to help out someone who is in need.
I managed to collect around 100 books in 2 Days. My teammate also using the same method and collect the books from friends and Kimberly was manage to collect around 30 books. My parents donated 60 coloring books for the children as gift on the launching day. The target was achieved this week.
