Also, we learned the needs of children and the foundation that is suitable for them.]]> 2021-11-13 07:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1887957438 s102273961 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1887958606
Yes, it changes the way we see ourselves. At first, we feel that we could not do it, thus, it causes us to drag the project. However, in the end, we found that we could make the books and we became more motivated. The process made us feel empathetic towards the community. The change in ourselves also sees how we unleash the group’s creativity.

And that is okay, as long as everyone can agree on it eventually. ]]> 2021-11-13 07:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1887959009 s102273961 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1887959891 It helped us more self confident as we were able to explore new interests and strengths and express our opinions. We are also able to understand on meeting the needs of our stakeholders and being exposed to different people’s backgrounds as it allows us to not be self centered and be open to others. Lastly, by helping, it gave us a sense of pride and establish a positive view of ourselves.]]> 2021-11-13 07:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1887959891 s102273961 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1887960711 We will try our best to contribute more projects like this back to the community in the future or volunteer to help in the community.]]> 2021-11-13 07:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1887960711 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890435792 Prior to the detailed planning of the project we each took up different roles as group members. For example, the leader, logistics, designer, etc. This way, we will be able to be more organized and ensure that all the tasks were evenly distributed. One of our group member made a sample book as reference which was definitely of great help. The sample book gave us a better understanding of what was expected and it also saved us a lot of time as we did not have to search the internet for more ideas. Since our group’s theme is transportation, before getting started on the book, each group member was allocated a specific transport vehicle to work on for example, cars, school bus, ambulance, etc. This way, everyone will have an opportunity to contribute to the book.]]> 2021-11-15 05:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890435792 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890436957 Working together with my teammates had been an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. There was many creative ideas and opinions shared by everyone and we are able to take that into account when making the book. We met up during our free time at a café to do our project. There was a lot of laughters which made the whole process an easy and memorable event.]]> 2021-11-15 05:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890436957 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890438537 To be honest, I never heard about this organization that we are partnering with. However, along with the planning for this project, I got to understand that Kidstart is an organization that supports children from low income families. Working with Kidstart was an eventful experience. In school, I learnt that children’s education and development is important in the early stages of their lives. Children from low income families may not have enough support to buy or read books. Hence, having the opportunity to be of help to the children gave me a great sense of accomplishment.]]> 2021-11-15 05:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890438537 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890439998 We are working with the organization called kidstart. Kidstart is an agency that aims to provide support for children aged 0-6 who come from low-income families as well as strengthen the relationships between the community and government to give these children an opportunity to have a good start in life.]]> 2021-11-15 05:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890439998 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890441627 I felt very grateful that I had my group mates to rely on when I was in need of assistance. They were very supportive towards the project and our team member’s welfare which is what contributed most to our project’s success in my opinion. I am also very happy that as a class, we were able to curate such beautiful books for the children to learn from, and knowing that I had played a part in making those books, plasters a smile onto my face.]]> 2021-11-15 05:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1890441627 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895398117 It was challenging to work with the class due to COVID-19 measures. Thus, most of things were done online which had limited face-to-face interactions and physical bonding with the class.]]> 2021-11-16 23:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895398117 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895399173 It was easy to work with one another as we all had similar perspectives on how we wanted the project to go. We were able to agree on the plot and how we wanted the book to look like. Though there are times we had differing opinions, we were able to overcome it and find a common ground between all of our opinions, and do our best to put the book together in the best way. ]]> 2021-11-16 23:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895399173 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895400676 One of the challenges that we faced as a class were the lack of materials given due to the tight budget. However, we managed to overcome it by sharing the materials given among the class and also use some items that we already have at home such, as glue guns and tapes. ]]> 2021-11-16 23:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895400676 https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895401920 If we could do this all over again, we would use recycled materials too, such as newspapers, cardboard, etc., to help the environment and to advocate the importance of reusing and recycling to children through the books. At the same time, we would have enough materials to create the books. ]]> 2021-11-16 23:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s102273961/y5q9wj3e2j87bggm/wish/1895401920
