1. PLANNING OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICE

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Community Service refers to the voluntary action of an individual or group of individuals
without pay. It is often done near the area where we live, so our own community reaps the
benefits of our work. Community service can help many different groups of people such as the
children, senior citizen, people who with disabilities, even animals and the environment. It also
helps students develop civic and social responsibility skills and become more aware of what their
community needs.

I love to participate in community service because I enjoy helping others and improve
their community. Visiting the kindergarten has been chosen as the community service activity to
fulfill the requirements of this course. During this visit I have done some activities with the kids
in the kindergarten. I found that the kids were enjoyed and they participated actively in all the
activities being prepared for them.

One of the activities done was cleaning the environment. To prepare a conducive
environment is an utmost responsibility that must be emphasized by all the education institutions.
The Ministry of education has been focusing on the cleanliness of the school compound in order
to create a conducive place for the kids to gain knowledge. Therefore I have included this as one
of my service to clean and beautify the school compound together with the kids. Through this
activity I can instill good habits in the kids for taking care of their surrounding.

Besides that, there are many cases of child abuse and rape among young kids in this fast
growing world now. To help the kids to have a protective life we as the elder should brief to
them on self safety. That was another part of my community service to save the kids in the future
by giving talk and explanation on the Good and Bad Touch by anyone they know.

1.11 DESCRIPTION ON PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Visiting this kindergarten has opened my eyes on how we need to safe and nurture the
kids to have a happy journey in their life. It is not only the job of the parents and the teachers to
raise the kids in a proper way. It is also the responsibility of the community to ensure the future
generation is well occupied not only with a degree or master in their education but with a safe
and comfortable living as well.

There might be some families who don’t really spend their time to emphasize on the
importance a safer live therefore, we as the community should always ensure that our kids are
safe all the time.

One lesson that I learnt was the importance of taking care of the future of our kids. It
would be a good activity if this kind of idea/ projects been spread to the other youngster to cheer
up the kids with many more activities.

1.12 APPRECIATION
I take this opportunity to thank the principal and the teachers for allowing me to carry out
my community service project there. My deepest thanks and appreciation to the kids who have
given me full support in conducting this welfare service and worked together for the success of
this activity.

In addition, I would also like to thank my tutor who has always encourage and advise me
to conduct this activity as planned. Thanks also to my family who have supported my in
completing this project as well.

REFLECTION JOURNAL

1. In order to complete this assignment, I was requested to run a community service project
individually. Due to time constrain and lack number of members, I had chosen a simple
community service project. Therefore, it has stroke my mind to choose a kindergarten to give
this service as I am also doing degree in Early Childhood Education.

Before starting this project, I made a plan using the Gantt Chart to run my project. Firstly
I listed down all the activities/projects that I am going to conduct in the kindergarten for the
project. Next, I pay a visit the principal of the kindergarten and had her talk with her regarding
my purpose of doing the service. I was given the green to conduct my project with the help of the
teachers and my daughter.

I had a great moment conducting this project with the kids. They are such a lovely gems
that much be taken care in order to build a safer generation. I was so happy working together
with the kindergarten management as well. Everyone was so friendly and fell free to share their
ideas to me during this project. Besides that, the principal too was so kind and generous in
sharing. She has given all supports to me to conduct this project successfully.

2. This project was conducted for 3 days. I started my project on the second day after
meeting the principal. During the second visit, I was welcomed by the kindergarten principal and
the teachers together with the kids. My first activity on that day was a talk on self cleanliness and
hygiene. During this activity, I taught the kids on how to take a good care of them self and
demonstrate to them on how to groom themselves as kids.

Kids enjoyed themselves helping their friends to groom. They were also happy brushing
teeth and bathing in the swimming pool with their friends. Through this activity, the kids can
learn to be independent and be more discipline.

8
 After teaching them on self cleanliness and hygiene, I gave a talk on self safety as now
days kids a very easily being abuse by the adults especially by their own family members. I used
some materials to explain to the kids on how to take care of themselves when meet some one that
behave strangely towards them. I also taught them on the good and bad touch and who are given
the authority to touch their body.

On the third day, I visited the kindergarten again to continue my community service
project. This time I emphasized on the awareness of the environment to the kids. During this
activity, the kids and I cleaned the kindergarten compound together. We had a great time doing
this activity as the kids really enjoyed themselves doing the cleaning up activity. Besides that, I
have also taught the kids on how to plant plants around their kindergarten. Through this activity,
we can instill good habits of loving their environment in themselves.

3. What I gained after the project was really satisfying. I have learnt many things
throughout the activities with these kids. One of it is the importance to instill good habits in the
kids. Besides that, this community service has given me a good and new experience in
conducting activities with the community. Through this activity I have build a good relationship
with the teachers in this kindergarten. To my opinion, this kind of services should be conducted
by all the people because this kind of projects gives a big impact on the community who really
need help from the other people.

4. The strength of this project is the cooperation being shown by the members in this
kindergarten. I wouldn’t get the chance to do my community service project in this kindergarten
if the principal doesn’t permit me. I was given full support from the school teachers as well and
the kids were also so friendly towards me and they paid full concentration during the talk and
explanation through out the activities conducted.

9
 Besides that, it was so grateful to see the kids being happy and feel enjoyed doing the
activities. They feel happy making themselves dirty playing with the soil. They were also happy
bathing together and splashing water on their friends and teachers.

The weakness of this project is the time. As this project was conducted towards the end
of the year (kids and teachers were busy preparing for their Graduation Day) I had some
difficulties in allocating a suitable time which is convenient for both sides. After being
considered by the principal, I was given the chance to run the project for 3 days.

Besides that, I was also unable to interview the teachers as they were busy preparing for
the Graduation Day. There were also some videos that can not be taken as the phone that I used
for the video shooting was not in good condition.

5. As for the improvement in the future, I need to prepare a good device for the video
shooting. Besides that, I need to brief the kids on how to talk so that the interview session can be
conducted smoothly. I would also like to suggest to conduct the project earlier as it will not
interrupt the activity in the kindergarten. Due to this time constrain, I have to rush to arrange the
time with the kindergarten management. Nevertheless, I could successfully accomplished my
task as per planned.

1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

1.1 INTRODUCTION

One of the most important procedural obligation that enables public participation where
the potential for the application of the principles of prior notification and consultation in good
faith, and probably, prior informed consent could be explored, is found in the imposition of the
duty to conduct EIA prior to the carrying out of certain prescribed activities. Apart from
addressing the reduction and mitigation of environmental risk associated with a proposed
activity, the requirement to enable access to the EIA report imposed under a Detailed EIA.

in general, and relevant stakeholders in particular, are notified and be informed of a

proposed activity likely to cause environmental damage by referring to these reports, where
opinions and oppositions of the public and relevant stakeholders pertaining to a proposed activity
might be taken into consideration in the process of approving the EIA report.

Particularly, the Department cited the collection of useful information such as

environmental quality and local problems, as well as the various aspects of the project most
likely to be of concerned for the affected community as some of the benefits of undertaking
consultation in the conduct of EIA.

In addition, the obligation to conduct EIA and the role of public participation are not
meant to be narrowly construed as a procedural right exercisable by the public prior to the
approval of a prescribed activities. The process of EIA should be broadly understood to include
specified ways of determining the applicability of the process, the assessment itself, its
dissemination, the participatory processes that occur through the process and any post-project
monitoring process directly related to the EIA process.

1.2 ACTIVITIES BASED ON THE SDG

Reduce, reuse and recycle

Reduce, reuse, recycle is a phrase that many of us have learned when we were in school.
Now we can incorporate these principles into the classroom to pass it on to the next generation.
These activities can help students explore how to put this phrase to use in many different ways.

Recycled materials can make beautiful art projects such as jewelry, planters, and bird
houses. Incorporating materials that would otherwise be thrown away into art projects can show
your students how to find new uses for these items.

One way to show students what happens when you put something in the trash versus
recycling or reusing the object is to do a life cycle analysis. This is a flow chart that shows the
environmental impacts of an object, from extracting the raw materials to decomposition and
everything in between. When something is put in the trash instead of being reused or recycled,
the life cycle assessment will show a bigger environmental impact. When something is reused or
recycled, the environmental impact is less because raw materials don’t need to be extracted to
create something new.

Beach Clean Up
To conduct activity for this we can tell the kids to design their own bag. To do this
activity in the classroom, we have to purchase white insulated lunch bags. Just about any
reusable lunch bag will do, but make sure they are a light color and have a fabric covering so that
the design will show up.

Request the kids to decorate their bags using washable markers along with rubber stamps
of marine animals to allow them to be creative with their designs. After decorating the bags, we
can discuss on the marine debris, how it impacts animals, and some ways to help combat the
problem.

12
Planting
Children curious, like to learn by doing, and love to play in the dirt. Working in a garden,
a child can experience the satisfaction that comes from caring for something over time, while
observing the cycle of life firsthand. Gardening gives children a chance to learn an important life
skill, one that is overlooked in standard school curriculums. Gardening is also a great way to
teach environmental awareness by exploring the workings of nature.

Whether you use raised beds, containers or ground plots, be sure to give each child his or
her own separate plot. Keep it small, very small for young kids. Put their plots right in the middle
of the action, with the best soil and light. Set them up for success.

If your children have grown past their sandbox years, consider converting the old
sandbox to a garden bed. This gives the child continued ‘ownership’ of a familiar space and
encourages a sense of responsibility to the gardening project. Of course, a productive garden bed
needs to be in good sunlight and soil should be free of tree roots. It may be necessary to relocate
the sandbox if growing conditions are less than ideal.
