“MY COMMUNITY MY COMMITMENT” Project Proposal
Environmental community service is a type of service in which the public reach
out towards environmental-community-based organizations such as social-service
organizations, non-profit organizations and faith-based organizations. It is one of the
many ways for people to contribute back to the society while taking into concern, the
environmental issues as well.
Paying It Forward is a project that brings the aim to further develop students’
community and team-working skills. These skills are crucial in developing the students’
good professional design practice in the future. As an active member of the community,
students are encouraged to deepen their understanding towards their environment and
realize their responsibility towards it. By identifying community related issues around
them, students are required to come up with solutions using the most of their creativity
which may be of tremendous help in solving real-world challenges in the future.

The refugees are victims forced to leave their own country due to some
unforeseen reasons and stay in a foreign country for an unknown period of time. Most of
them do not have citizenships and even rights to study.
We believe that every human has equal rights and there is no reason that we
should treat someone badly because there are not Malaysians. Hence, as a bunch of
young architectural students, our aim is to make positive CHANGES to their
environment by applying what we have learnt. We wish to make them feel like they are
home, a better place to live and study even in foreign country.

In this chapter, we are going to show the environmental and community issues
faced by our case study and our site visits to the center.
We had our very first site visit of our case study on 22th September 2014. The
aim of the visit was to find out the environment or community issues faced by the case
study meanwhile engage to the community.

CCEC (Chin Children's Education Centre) situated in Sungai Besi is a school of
Refugees. Their school is located underneath an apartment that most of the foreign
workers. Therefore, there is limited and compact space within that area. Upon reaching
the apartment, we started to record our observation. The hygienic quality was pretty bad
and the unpleasant smell of rubbish filled up the atmosphere.

We carefully made our way to the school, which is situated at the ground floor
inside the apartment. Despite of the dark and uncomfortable surroundings, we were
immediately welcomed by a bunch of cute little kids at the entrance of the school.

After a few rounds of observations and discussion with the principal of the school
Mr.Joseph, we have noticed some key environment issues and condition of the school.
I. The bookshelves in the reading zone were insufficient to store all the books
and the reading materials were arranged loosely due to their different sizes.
There were few more boxes of stationaries were on the ground.
Beside, files that kept records of the children
information are normally bigger than the
dimension of the bookshelves. Hence, the

files in the principal room were randomly arranged without a special
cabinet.
II. Flooring. The cement casted flooring of the school was uneven and has
several holes that will cause the students to trip and fall easily. The problem
also make hard for the students to move the partitions when they change
classes.
III. Kitchen Area. The kitchen shelves for the storage of plates, cups, cooking
utensils and etc were in a broken and poor condition.
ISSUES

Brooms and cleaning materials were placed randomly on the floor without a
proper cabinet.
IV. The entrance of the school is empty and lack of furniture although there is a
big open space. Children found a lack of benches to sit while waiting for their
parents or to rest.

V. There was a panel of windows that were broken down and left behind only
the steel bars. Rain poured in through the opening and disrupted the class.
The children have to move their classrooms to another location or postpone
the lesson.
VI. Partition. Each classroom was separated using a thin layer of plywood board

or a thin piece of cloth. Thus, there was no sound insulation between each
classrooms.
VII. Toilet bowl. They have insufficient toilet bowls to suit the students’ needs.
