Activity 1
26.02.2016
SK Sri Kelana


This was the first Social Engagement activity that our group carried out . We had conducted a fitness test for the primary school students with special need . As we all know , children with special needs may have mild learning disabilities or profound cognitive impairment and so on . Before going to the activity , I am so worried .  I had never interact with special children . I had no idea about how to communicate with them . However , after I had took part in this activity , I found that they were same as other children . They like to play , like to talk with others and they are also a naughty child .  The only things that different from others was I need to be more patient when taking care and communicate with them . Even though , I had faced some difficulties when take care of them but I think it is good for me to learn how to take care of them and to know them deeply.



Activity 2
04.03.2016
SMK Kelana Jaya


We had our 2nd social engagement activity at SMK Kelana Jaya . The activity we conducted here same as what had we done for our 1st social engagement activity last week . We conducted the fitness test for the secondary school student with special need . With the experience that I had last week , I can communicate with the students here more easily . Other than conduct the fitness test for them , I also have a chat with them to understand them more . Besides , I am so happy when saw then take care of each other just like a big family even though they are all from different races .  I am so happy that I got the opportunity to know them and to be one of their friends.





Activity 3
27.03.2016
Car Free Day Petaling Jaya (MBPJ)

            ‘PJ Car Free Day’ event was held to promote a strategic sustainable city . By minimizing the volume of cars on the road , we can slowly minimize carbon footprint in our country , even if it takes just one step at a time .
I had become a volunteer in conducting one of  the activities on that day . The activity that I took part in was conducting a “Snake Game”  for those who coming for the event . From this activity I had learn how to in charge an activity with others and how to communicate well with others .



Activity 4
08.04.2016
SK Sam Yoke
            8 April , today was the 4th social engagement activity I have since 26 Feb . Today , same as the first two activity , our group was conducted the fitness test for special children who study at SK Sam Yoke . At first , I think it is not a problem for me to interact with them as I had experience before . But , in reality , I am wrong . I faced a lot of difficulties when conducting the test . In order to complete the test , the teachers there had help ua a lot .They help us in managing the students and also teach me how to interact with them . They told me the personality of the students in order to lets me to be more understand about them . This was very important for me to communicate well with the students . From today activity, I found that it is quite important for us to know the people with special need better because they are also one part of our society that need our concern .             
 
Activity 5
06.05.2016
SK Sri Kelana
            SK Sri Kelana was the 1st place we choose to have our social engagement activity with special child. I am so glad when I found that they still remember me when I coming here again for my last social engagement activity after a few month . Today , we not going to has the fitness test like what had we done before . However , we was planned to have some indoor and outdoor activities with the special child there . All the game we planned contain certain moral value that we want to pass to them such as they need to corporate with each others to complete the task . Besides , in conjunction with celebration of mother day , we had conducted  an  activities that lets them to do a card for their mother as a gift .
    
 

            As a conclusion , I think that this course is very meaningful for us as a university student and also part of the society .  Involve in this activity make me to have an better understanding with the special children . Besides this also make me to be more patient when communicating with them and taking care of them . Before this, I refuse to interact with the special children because I have no idea how to interact with them. For me , they all are different from us . I don’t understand what they think , what they want and what they want to taking about  . However , after take part in this social engagement activities, I can be one of their friend , I can understand what they want and think . In my opinion , understand each other is a very significant for us as we are all one part of the society .
