I AM STEVE ROGERS



Assalamualaikum and hi everyone! Today we are coming back to you with a post after being away for the last week. (the reason being, that last week was our Mid-term holiday). Today I will be sharing with you what happened for the last two weeks. But before that I would like to summarize our activities in this project and share with you my impressions so far. 

Our project was with toy libraries Malaysia. The reason we chose toy libraries is because we believe that the existence of places like toy libraries is very important for children. Children learns most at early age so by providing toy library for them, this will help them develop their creativity and intelligence. So we went to the toy library located at Damai apartment at Damansara Damai and we met the kids there. We started to get to know them through some ice breaking activities. Then later we started to discuss with them regarding the toy library there and how it can be improved. We helped them to plan on what they can enhance. We divided ourselves with the children into groups and then worked together to form plans and then every team presented their ideas. We planned the carnival day with them and then we went to help them organise the toy library and help in cleaning it and removing materials that are not safe for the kids like the extra plants. We met several times with the children and we met with Datin PH Wong to discuss on the project procedure and to interact with the kids. Then on the day of the carnival we had a full day of interaction with the children in that area. That day there were around 20 child present. we did many activities together that included ice breaking, and aerobic dancing. We then taught them some skills like, how to make a sandwich, how to make a butterfly key chain, and other creative arts. The kids had a lot of fun and we also enjoyed our time. We taught them a lot and we also learned a lot.

After finishing our program with the kids, we met with Datin PH Wong to pass her our assessment sheet. During the meeting, Datin PH Wong shared with us her feedback based on our interaction with the community there. The discussion also included the possible improvements that can be done in future volunteering activities to ensure the maximum benefits for the community.

In the mean time we  continued our discussions and feedback for each other within the group. We shared out our individual thoughts and personal feedback in our whatsapp group. We discussed how much we learned from this experience and how valuable this kind of activities are to ensure better connections among students that results in easier communication within the students. Throughout our discussions, we reviewed our progress and we looked back to all the memories that were created. We looked at the photos of the children and how much fun they had.


We also discussed about the booth that we had for the toy donation. The discussion included important details like how much those items that were collected can make a difference in the children's life. 

It is true that this was a university course that we had to do, but we took it seriously; we tried to help with all our potential and the results were great. We connected with the children, we helped them, they enjoyed and we all had fun.



It's true that our practical part of the social engagement course has finished but we atill continue our group discussions and improvements as we still have to procedure our individual reflections about this experience. Therefore, don't worry as we will continue to update you guys here in our page so stay tuned for our upcoming posts!

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone! In my posting today I would like to share about my final thoughts on this project. Based on the overall project, I have learned a lot of things especially in improving my personal and professional development. I learned to be more confident while communicating and dealing with such big organization. The more confident you are, the more you trust yourself. This also helps me to develop a higher self-esteem. To be confident, I need to have a positive thinking. I need to cut all the negativity around me. By talking to the parents of the kids also help me to improve my confidence level. During this project, I improved my discipline by being punctual whether for submission or other stuff. Discipline can be improved by setting a clear goal that need to achieve at the end of the project. I am able to concentrate on completing work.  I learned that all the weakness that I have can be improved for example I am not a patient pers...
