Page 5: Pdt Final Documentation

Rumah Charis (Home for the Children) is an observational study of orphaned and

abandoned children (OAC) and a small cohort of non-OAC. Children and their caregivers

were first interviewed starting at ages 6 to 12 in order to examine the influence of life

events, residential placements, caregiver characteristics, and cultural settings on the

children's:

Learning and development including behavioral and emotional adjustment

Health outcomes

Relationship outcomes including HIV risk behaviors and family formation and

Educational achievement, labor force participation, and civic engagement.

b) High Level Plan

What is the project about?

The project is about visiting to the Orphanage called Rumah Charis- Home for the

Children which located at Jalan Awan Pintal, Taman Yarl, Kuala Lumpur. Rumah Charis

was established in year 1994. Its aims to create a conducive environment for growing

children by offering them healthy home care and activities.

How we achieve the project?

Group members give ideas and brainstorm on what activities we are going to

prepare for the event. After deciding on the activities, allocation of task was given to

group members, which they will perform individually.

c) Entrepreneurial skills in Fund Raising

After everything has been planned, we need some capital or funds to carry out our

activities. With the entrepreneurial skills that we have learned in university, we could

raise fund in order to achieve and complete our goals. These may be follows.

Create a mascot which made by plastic and synthetic material and locate it at public

place. We are very welcome people who stressed a lot in their daily life to pay us few

bucks, therefore they can release their stress by punching the mascot.

Collect the recyclable items in our living area to sell the items. We also can gather the

reusable or little problem furniture or electronic product and repair them and sell it to

people.

Open a stall at our university foyer and selling food at a little higher price for charity.

Besides, we also have a gaming booth for our university students to challenge their

friends with the football game by just paying few bucks.

Page 7: Pdt Final Documentation

d) Assumption and Constraint

During our team planning the event, we were made numbers of assumption to find ways

on how to solve them when they happen or come up.

A morning call is given to all member in case that any of our team member overslept.

Assumed that someone just disappear, all team member must have the phone number

of others.

It was assumed that we would get lost and can't find the orphanage, to overcome this

situation we send the orphanage address to all members and we install GPS in our

smart phone.

We call restaurant with delivery service for lunch at the orphanage, this is assumed

that we may take long time to buy lunch and bring it back to the orphanage.

We also found that there were some difficulties and limitations in the event which include;

distance of team member live. All of us live in different places, therefore our team wasted

some times in fetching up our team members. Another difficult was the communication with

the orphans live in that orphanage. The age group of orphans live in that orphanage are

around 5 to 13 years old and most of them are Chinese, so some words they cannot

pronounce properly and not good in English. Our team also face the limitation of time, due to

our team is only allow to stay at the orphanage 3 hours for 2 days, so we need to manage our

time accurately so our activities can fit the event. Having less finances to be used in the event

was another limitation, our team compare a lot in the price of restaurant provide to us so we

can buy the lunch in the lowest price.

Execution

a) Day of the Event

Through this Professional Enterprise Development modules, my group has the

opportunity to pay a visit to the orphanage recently. We have been visited the orphanage for two

days which is Saturday and Sunday.

7

Page 9: Pdt Final Documentation

On the first day, we reached the orphanage at 9a.m. and started our first activity with the

children which is ice-breaking session. Five of us introduced ourselves one by one to the children

who never seen us before that and the children also introduced themselves to us. Then, we

carried out a drawing session with the children by asking them to draw what they like or what

comes to their mind at the moment. Some of the children asked us to teach them what they want.

We gave comments to their drawing when they took it for us to view after they have done it.

Next, we continued our activity- football session with the kids after a short break. All of us stood

in a circle and passed the football in the circle. Before we ended the first day at there, we have

bought 40 sets of lunch boxes for them.

Second day, the person in charge brought us to visit and brief us about the history of

orphanage after we arrived. We have conducted session with the children in the morning. We

have prepared few instruction papers for them to refer and make it step-by-step. After origami

activity, we joined the children to play the ball which made by newspaper and tape in the large

living room. After that, the children took their lunch and rest. The person in gave us a yellow

appreciation flag for our coming. Lastly, we have a group photo session with the children before

we ended our second day.

b) Analyzed and Problem Faced

For our event of visiting the orphanage home, we plan to have it as a one day event which

is from 9am-3pm. But, the management want us to break it down as a two days event due to the

reason that the schedule for the orphans has already been planned after 12pm. Although this is

not what we have planned, but we choose to accept it because it could be an advantage for us so

that we have the chance to know the children and get closer to them better in this way.

Unfortunately, one of our group member only able to make it on the first day of the event, and he

was sick on the second day. Therefore, we have to carry out the task which has already assigned

to him on the second day. In overall, the event was well organized as the activities carried out

makes the orphans felt happy to be with us and they were expecting us to visit them again next

time. However, these are some of the problems faced during the event:

8

Page 10: Pdt Final Documentation

This orphanage home has around 30 orphans and most of the orphans are below 12 years

old. Therefore, we have difficulties in carry out the activities as we have only group of

five to take care of 20 children at a time. Some of the children are fighting among

themselves and not listening to our instruction when we were carrying out the activities.

Luckily, the person in charge helps us to stop them from fighting and ask them to pay

attention to us.

Two of our group member were having communication problems with the children while

teaching the children on drawing. This is because we have members from Brunei and

Bangladesh and the orphans there were mostly Chinese educated and can only speak in

Mandarin. Therefore, the Chinese group members and the person in charge helps to

translate the idea and message between the orphans and the group members for the

tutorial on drawing.

There are two orphans who were having mental illness and they refuse to join us for the

event. Although we have tried our best to speak to them and to explain to them regarding

the activities to be carried out, but they did not want to listen to us and refuse to be friend

with us. They even hurt one of us by pinching the hand when we were speaking to them.

We did not angry and instead we felt sympathy to them as they were having mental

problems.

Report

1. Project Outcome

In August 2015 Grace Zhou presented RUMAH CHARIS findings

(Understanding the psychosocial health of orphans and vulnerable children) at the Global

Health & Innovation conference at Monash University. Malaysia, a Hart Fellow, is

currently conducting a supplemental project to RUMAH CHARIS to examine the

reintegration experiences of formerly institutionalized children at the RUMAH CHARIS

site in Cheras, Malaysia.

In August 2015 an article using RUMAH CHARIS data called "Child and caregiver

concordance of potentially traumatic events experienced by orphaned and abandoned

children" by D. G. Rajan et al. was published in Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies.

2. Report

Being as a member of the event, this help us to develop important characteristic.

As a team, we need to understand the role we play. The outcome of the event is success

but it would not able to be possible to success without several success factors. From the

pass few month our team has evaluate and improve our skill and ability to do critical

thinking and decision making for our event, this help our team to define our goal clearly

for our event and we also get help from our lecture and friends.

One of the important skill we learn in the event is the leadership skill, leadership

skill help our team to stick together and make decision. Being as a team we may have

some disagreement to the decision and also argument, the leadership skill help us a lot in

solving the argument. Leadership skill is useful in the future when we been hire by an

organization. As a leader, the result is not the only thing will be concern but also team

member take part in the progress. Leader need to be efficiently in communicate with their

team member about the program goal, and also the strategy that can lead their team

member to success. A true leader will be able to inspire and motivate the team member,

leader will be as a coach and a host in the team and guide the team member to produce

the best result. The leadership skill will not only help us to go further in our career

10

Page 12: Pdt Final Documentation

prospects but also help us get respect and agree of our credibility and decision making by

our member.

We also improve our communication skill in the event. Communication skill is

important in our life, an effective communication can help remove all barriers that came

in way. An effective communication will be create by the usage of words, speed of

delivery of words, pitch modulation and body language. During the “Practical

Communication” topic in the lecture class we learned the importance of professional

communication. Working as a team we need to be able to communicate effectively and

exchanged our ideas with the team member in order to come up with the best solution,

communication also enable everyone to channel their efforts equally to carry out the

given task.. Having a good communication skills is going to be huge benefit to us as we

could help the administration in organization in arriving quick decision and

implementation and we would be able to strengthen the relations between a groups of

people. Without communication, human will not able to grow the social group and a lot

of argument and trouble will be faced by the different country due to different culture of

the country. As a successful communicator we will be able to deliver talks with clear and

concise way, we are also able to conduct presentations in a professional way with good

skill of English language.

Another important skill we have learn from the event is time management skill,

we need to have good time management skill in order to lead the team to meet the

successful goal. Time management is be define as getting everything done in the specific

time. From the event we have organize, we learned that time management is considered

an important aspect of a team work before planning to get things done in a particular

period of time. Time management skill stands an important role in the workplace and has

lot of positive effects such as, ranging from making you a more focused and valuable

employee to reducing the stress of your job. During the lecture class lecture will divide us

into separate team and give us number of task and require us to finish the task in a

particular period of time, our time management skill is been trained at that moment. We

will need to divide the task with the team member in order to produce a quality outcome

in limited time given by the lecture. We were guided by our lecture and leader of our

11

Page 13: Pdt Final Documentation

team to divide our task and we have been working together to plan time management

before the event was launched. By using time management skill, we were able to do

complete tasks on time and procrastination was never an issue once we acquired better

time management skills.

Besides that, creativity marketing is another important skill we need in order to

make the event success by doing research about target user, exchange ideas, and seek

advice from others. This is because different people have different point of views and

they will accept input from anyone else who in a same position to assist them or offer

them information. Creativity marketing skill is important because different target user

will get attract by different things, unchanged idea maybe will no fail but it will not

attract people like the idea we do research about the target user. Creativity marketing skill

will support your idea become more attractive and help yours idea to success more easily

and be agree by others more easily. By having Creativity marketing skill we are able to

bring out the idea faster and attractive than others, this will bring great benefit in our

future because you are stand on the front of all other competitors. During the lecture class

lecture will give us some task and the example output of the task, by training our

creativity marketing skill we are able to come out with a more quality output and it

maybe new from other because it come out from the new view point.

Based on the critical evaluation and analysis stated above, it is clearly stated that

leadership skill, time management skill, communication skill, and, creativity marketing

skill are important factors that can contributed to the success of the project. These skills

are able to benefit our team members in a very significant way and were able to expand

our responsibility and that is a huge gain of characteristic properties.

Individual Reflection

Throughout the planning, organising, executing of the event, I have found out that being part of

the group members and taken part in this event is vitally important for me in developing myself.

There are numerous of aspects I have learnt throughout this event and I believe these aspects

helps me in becoming a better graduates or even a more successful individual. Most importantly,

the key element of working in a group and to come out with a good piece of group work is to

have a good teamwork among the group members. I am glad that I have amazing teammates who

are able to support my ideas and additionally come out with their own ideas during the

discussion and planning of the event. Besides, our team chemistry in working out for this project

is excellent as we are able to combine the efforts and abilities of members in the right way. This

is because we have no leaders in our group therefore we have to select the task on our own and

execute it with our own abilities without anyone monitoring. Instead, we work in a way that we

seek advice and solution from other group members when we come to difficulties. There is a fact

that I cannot denied after organising this event successfully, positive attitude towards the group

would definitely help in group discussion, executing task and forgiving the mistake done by

group members.

There is a lot of challenges we faced during the event, but we working as a group has overcame

it by helping each other. I help to translate the message between my group member who cannot

speak Chinese and the orphans who did not understand English. My group member appreciated

my favour in translating the message and complimenting me for helping him to overcome the

communication problem. Besides being helpful in this event, I realised that my communication

skills was sharpened in this event. During discussion, we were all brainstorming the ideas for the

activities to be carried out with the children. I am confident enough to present my ideas to the

group because the communication in the group is in all direction since there is no leader in the

group. This makes me enjoy working in a group because things could get done faster and easier

compare to working alone. Lastly, I realised that I was able to be more open minded after the

event of mixing with the orphans. I felt pity for them as they do not have parents during their

childhood days and in the same time I felt so grateful to have my parents, siblings as my life

companion since the day I have born.

23

Page 25: Pdt Final Documentation

I found this module valuable and crucially important as the lesson learnt could be great use for

my betterment as an individual. We have covered several topics in this module and I found that

these three topics very interesting such as the career development, practical communication

skills. Firstly, I would say that to communicate well will be one of the key success factor for a

graduate. This is because we get to build up our network by communicating with others or even

we make new friends by exchanging ideas with them. In the topic of practical communication

skills, we have identified our learning styles and as a result we are able to focus on that style in

order to develop ourselves. Also, we are able to improve the body language while we are talking

to others as body language plays an important role is encouraging and discouraging the other

party. Besides, in career development skills, we were taught with the personal branding and

verbal business card. I found verbal business card more interesting because I have never heard

about this term before until we were taught. We need to have a clear image on who we are, what

we do and what do we want in creating our verbal business card. The skill of summarizing is

important here as we are required to speak our business in 30 seconds or less so that our listener

will not lose attention to us. In fact, powerful verbal business card always grab us an opportunity

to be offered or to get promoted.

The two topics above actually helps me a lot in identifying and improving my strength and

weakness. I have found out that I am a kinesthetic learning style where I am really active and

likes hands on activity during the lesson. In addition, I knew that I am good in communication as

I am not afraid of initiating topic with others and my body language will always attract the

listener attention while I am speaking. Being able to identify my strength as a kinesthetic learner

helps me possess my character traits of an active person. Besides, good in communication helps

me to make a lot of friends in the college. This brings me an advantage that my friends will give

me a hand whenever I need them. However, I think my weaknesses is that I am not able to create

my own personal brand because I failed some of the laws of personal brand so badly. For

instance, I am not a persistence person when doing my work at which I used to give up easily

whenever I have encountered problems. Although I am good in communication, but I think I

have to improve on my communication skills and make it short, simple, and important as this is

essential for the verbal business card in my career development. I should summarize my speech

24

Page 26: Pdt Final Documentation

in a way that is easily remember by others and also it contains the main points that I want to

convey.

My development plans to address the weaknesses that I have is I will set my goals, determine my

motivation, and form my mastermind group. Setting up goals allows me to know the things that I

would like to achieve and I would definitely fight for it no matter how hard it is. Determining my

motivation actually helps me keep moving in my life and it acts as an encouragement for me

whenever I have encountered problems. Mastermind Group composes of people who can help

Individual Reflection

It is very important for the undergraduate students to learn this subject because it helps

the undergraduate students to reflect critically and evaluate personal development and career

goals. Personal development planning has become part of the mainstream higher education

institutional agenda. Moreover, this module also helps the undergraduate students who are intend

to get a graduate level job and want to progress along a career path. After studying this module,

students are able to understand the difference of the working world and the students’ life. I

believed that academic qualifications are not adequate and being involved in the extracurricular

pursuits will help to improve individual’s academic grades and knowledge.

After the event, I had realized the difference of doing group work and individual work. I

have learnt to be a team member to cooperate with other group members instead of doing

everything by myself. I have learnt teamwork and was able to work with other group members to

plan and carry out the event successfully. Before anything was carried out, I have discussed

together with my group members to get the best choice then only make the final decision.

Besides, I also learned to be open-minded person when judgement or idea rejection by other

group members to myself. I was start learning to accept criticism or recommendation which are

good for myself to grow up in mentality and to be a better person. Furthermore, I have learnt

how to communicate with some of my group members who come from different cultures with

me, I have tried to avoid the misunderstanding between us by knowing their cultures before work

with them.

Moreover, I also discovered my strength throughout this event which is helping my group

members to overcome problems they faced. I helped my group members to communicate and

make changes of our food order with the staff when he couldn’t communicate with the food stall

people. I was able to give ideas when the brainstorming session to solve certain problems that we

faced. I also able to be open-minded when my ideas are decline by the group members which

they think it is not appropriate. However, I have found out that my weakness in this event

planning process. I was easily get angry when the plan was not following my expectation and

this made me feel stressed and tensions. Other than that, my time management is not good

enough because I failed to complete the tasks in the given time and keep procrastinating the

work.

35

Page 37: Pdt Final Documentation

Time management is a very useful skill that all of us should master and apply in our daily

life. We should plan our timetable before carrying out the things that we should do in the given

time. We must follow the schedule accordingly so that we could finish the tasks or works on time

instead of postponing again and again. Furthermore, we should prioritize the tasks when we

planning our timetable, which one should be completed first. There are plenty of advantages of

time management in our daily life and working environment. We could produce the assignments

in quality and punctually by fostering the time management practice in our daily life. With a

good time management, we will not be stressed when tons of tasks is waiting for us to complete.

People with these abilities will profit their colleagues and group members by not giving them

trouble of completing tasks of their own parts.

Individual Reflection

Extracurricular activities is important to us especially when we do the activities in a

group. Extracurricular activities helps connect people from different culture, religion, and

country. The event is considered one of the extracurricular activities organized by the lecturer

and our team of the module and we were assigned to do a report based on the event that was held

on 1st August and 2nd August. When I and the team organizing the event, we meet different

people and in the first we are all not well know each other. By organizing the event with the

team, we learn a lot about our team member such as they culture, religion, the way they think,

and the point they view. This help me and the team grow our knowledge and learn respect each

other.

Professional and Enterprise Development is a very useful module that helps us a lot in

organizing the event. The topics of Professional and Enterprise Development have bring out a lot

of value and it is very useful in identify and improve our strengths and weaknesses. "Career

Element, Curriculum Vitae and Cover Letter" teach us about key features of a CV, covering

letter and application form. "Practical Communications" talk about communication skills for

professionals, and how to manage conflict and negotiation. "Creativity and the Business Idea"

teach us importance of marketing research, examine the marketing concept: philosophy,

segmentation, and consumer orientation, and the establish the areas vital to marketing planning.

"Introduction to Project Management" show us the main tasks involved in project management,

and describe the range of skills required for successful project management. "Professional Issues

& Computer Ethics" teach us about identify the difference between professional obligations and

legal obligations, and discuss about the relevance of Codes of Ethics. All of the topic above is

55

Page 57: Pdt Final Documentation

very useful even we have graduate from the university. "Career Element, Curriculum Vitae and

Cover Letter" will help us to find a job because to get an interview from a company we will need

to have skill to write a formal CV and cover letter, without this we couldn't even get an interview

from a company. After we get into an interview, a professional communication skill is require

for you to bring out a quality outcome to answer the interview question. Moreover we may meet

a team in our job, that's why a professional communication skill will be useful because to success

a group project all member should be able to exchange information. While we doing the project,

we will need creativity marketing skill to do some market research to know who is our target

user, what is characteristic of our target user, and how are we going to attract our target user. At

the same time, we need to manage our team and discuss about the skill we need so that we can

lead our team to success and reduce the risk of failure of the project. Then we will need to make

a quality presentation to our consumer in order to make our consumer agree our idea. Besides

that, we need to remember our professional obligations and the legal obligations. We need to

lead our project to success is not equal to we can ignore the ethical behavior, go against the

ethical behavior will cause great issues to us and the company.

Throughout my experience in the event, I have learned a lot, which could be of great use

for my individual improvement. I have learned to understand my role as a team member in the

event and identify my strengths and weaknesses from the event. From the event, I found that I

have better creative thinking skill than others to make suggestion about the activities our team

can be use in the event by knowing the age group of the orphanage. Moreover, I also good in

managing my time and task so I could able to complete my part of the project in particular time. I

believe that I could still improve the skill I have mentioned above so I could have better

competency and greater possibility to success in my career in the future. On the other hand, I

also realise that I have weak communication skill compare with my team member. I found that I

couldn't present my idea clearly to others and this make our team member delay their schedule

once. This is a critical threat to me because the failure of communication cause a huge issue to

me, team members, and also the consumer. I would like to make improve on my communication

skill because it can cause great effect on the final outcome and I would like to cause my final

outcome as a negative result.

In order to improve my communication skill, I plan to improve my English in order to

communicate with my member easier and deliver my message more clearly to others. To meet

56

the goal I will need to read more English article and use more English to communicate in my

life. Moreover I would like to look for the example of body language such as the hand gesture,

eye contact, and tone of voice. Body language is able to help the information we deliver to keep

in memory more easier because 55% of body language will be transmit during communication

while words and tone of voice are only 7% and 38%. The development of good communication

skills take time, patience, and practice and I believe that I am ready to take the challenge since it

would be useful for me in the rest of my life.

Individual Reflection

My fieldwork experience involved working with Rumah Charis Orphanage, Cheras, Malaysia.

Fieldwork enables one to become actively involved in the work environment, by both observing

students in their natural habitat and participating in various lessons and class activities with the

students. For example, during my fieldwork experience this semester, I was assigned as a group

member to work with for a two days sessions of four hours. During this time, I both observed

students are studying and working independently on science content related tasks, such as

reading his textbook and answering assigned questions, and on another day I was able to assist

him in building a tinfoil boat to test how many pennies it could carry in water. As a pre-service

teacher, one is able to absorb helpful hints and tips to do or use in his or her classroom, and is

provided with an opportunity to gain some experience in teaching, as fieldwork is an indication

of what one’s classroom will function as or be like one day. Observing how the classroom is

organized is even beneficial for an individual studying to become a teacher, as classroom

organization is important for both the teacher and his or her students to function in the

classroom. For example, would it be best to face the students’ desks away from the windows, or

allow the students to look out beyond the windows? As I have seen and witnessed during past

fieldwork experiences, seating students facing the windows has lead to increased levels of

distraction and inattention. However, I may have never realized how important the seating

63

Page 65: Pdt Final Documentation

arrangement in a classroom could be unless I observed a real, functional classroom through my

fieldwork opportunities. Therefore, fieldwork provides future teachers with many opportunities

and meaningful experiences to be prepared for both student teaching and having their own

classrooms sometime in the future.

Conclusion

Although we have faced several obstacles when organising this event, but luckily we still able to

complete the event or project successfully. During this project, we have learned many positive

values from every each of our group members. We communicated well and plan the project

successfully. We had the opportunity to find out our own interpersonal skills and weakness.

Laconically, our group works had been distributed equally to each one of us and all of us were

happy of it.
