My Community My Commitment

Project proposal

Environmental community service is always considered as a necessity in every

community; the importance is described not only via helping communities but also

through its good performance worldwide and ecologically. Our environment has

been degrading which mostly humans are responsible. Although, many measures

have been applied to heal and cease further damage, permanent negative impacts

have occurred and subsequent environmental breakdown will take place. The

swiftest method to make a positive alteration is by initiating a global awareness;

primarily and simplest is by starting with gathering communities concerning their

own problems.

My community my commitment is a scheme that targets to inculcate and show the

youngsters with a strong conviction of communal responsibility, commitment and

aids. The project’s mission is to cultivate the young generation into morally and

ethically responsible leaders who will change their perspective about making use

of creative and ecological attitudes not having the sole aim of brightening our

world, but also extend it further, formally the architects of the future.

By requesting students to list and elaborate community based problem in their

home communities and generating innovative ecological approaches they will be

familiarized to face community life as architecture. My community my

commitment also require one to get involved with the trend and enhance teamwork

expertise important in initializing good professional practice; involvement

acknowledges a profound comprehension and the duty of being a responsible

person to the community and also get use to creative solution of true defies.

+1.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

Increase awareness of current issues locally.

To induce creativity in attempting to explore the current environmental

circumstance

To allow students to explore the opportunity to work with the community and

for the community

To create awareness of the importance if creating and environmentally

sustainable design products/design/services

To be able to understand and explain the principle of sustainability from

environmental and social perspective.

1.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

Agathians Shelter is a legally registered home which is located in Petaling

Jaya and operates since 2003, it offers basic shelter and emergency lodging

to 40 poor and deprived boys who were homeless and abandoned due to

social issues. Furthermore, it is not financially supported by the government,

but rely on donation and help from the community only. The monthly

expenses is about RM 20000. When there is shortage of finance, the

committee covers the expenses equitably. Moreover, activity such as

recycling is a mean of income for the shelter. Donation in the form of

clothing, and equipment are received.

Agathian’s primary aim is to save the children from the streets and help

them to take the right path. Furthermore they strive to fulfill their duties in

providing all essential needs to the children such as shelter, food, education,

care, attention and love etc.

+ 1.3- REASONS WHY WE CHOSED AGATHIAN SHELTER.

Agathians shelter is a welfare home, which covers about 40 boys from 3 till 20 years old.

The reason why we chose Agathians shelter is because these children have no parents or

any relatives, they are the most susceptible of growing up in the world of crime, or

forming part of child slavery. They are the most vulnerable, because of their tender age,

these children will decide exclusively out of necessity. Like anybody, they are going to

do the maximum to survive. This is a choice that a child must not have to do at such

tender age.

Every person ever conceived, was born with specific needs. Those needs include, critical

needs such as food and shelter, security, the knowledge that critical needs will continue

to be met, bonding, mentoring and nurturing which lead to a sense of belonging as well

as self actualization, or self worth. The belief that one is of value to themselves and

others. Children will first seek their critical needs. And the supply of those critical needs

will instill a learned behavior.

We pay attention and look after orphan children because, they will form part of the

future, they are susceptible, and mostly, because they are children. We also believe that

these children have the right to be happy and get what they want and need, and the only

way is US who have to do the first step.

+2.1 IDENTIFIED ISSUES

A. Uncomfortable environment

An uncomfortable situation arises for the boys, which relates to the playground whereby

there is no protection against the scorching sun. The porch and bedrooms are situated

beside the playground, hence they get warmed up.

Problems such as lack of storage of, books and important documents were commonly

noticed in the office. Furthermore the talented children have several trophies and medals

and keep receiving. However these trophies are hidden in the computer room, as they

don’t have enough space to display the trophies and medals

+ 2.2. POPOSED SOLUTIONS

The proposed solutions are long lasting ones, hence ensuring that the daily life at

Agathians Shelter becomes cosier.

A. Roofing (Issue 1)

At first, we would like to propose the use of metal wire netting to build a green roofing

for the playground as it affects a lot more than just the playground. For example, the

green roof will provide a more comfortable and safe environment for the children to play

outside, as well as reduce the amount of heat going in to the building. We believe that we

did a favor for the environment by planting plants as they are also a source of oxygen for

our planet.

We came up with 3 ideas:

IDEAS FOR THE CHOISE OF PLANT:

12

IDEA 1:

Passion fruit vine

Description:

Requires a lot of care

Cost is slightly higher due to the fact that it produces

eatable fruits

Takes a longer time to grow

Life cycle of passion fruit plant

2 weeks for plant seed to

germinate

Does not require much

care

Watering plant regularly is vital for its

survival

Shelter for children

The most important motive behind designing the rooftop garden in the playground was to

facilitate children with a shelter. We believe that placing plants on top, would create a

shelter for the children and protect them from the glazing hot sun. If the children were to

play in this environment they could they could easily suffer from tiredness, and possibly

dehydration. Therefore by designing a rooftop garden, we aim to create a more suitable

and temperature for the children to play.

Increase the exquisiteness of the place.

By designing the rooftop garden we trust that it would increase the beauty of the shelter.

Since the plant we are planting is Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) the stunning blue color

of the flower would certainly increase the beauty of the playground and the whole shelter

home too.

Effects of Butterfly pea

Apart from the beautiful looks of the plant, it is important to note the number of uses this

plant has. Some of the uses of the plants include, extracting the color glutinous rice for

‘kuih ketan’ . It is also used to color white rice of ‘Nasi Kerabu’, use as prayer material

for Indians etc. Therefore by providing this plant, we hope that everyone at Agathians

would fully utilize the uses of this plant.

Butterfly pea plant Rubber-coated garden wire

STEPS TO FOLLOW:

1-Rubber-coated garden wire is cut by using wire

cutter into 11 shorter wires, 10 metre each.

2-Each wire is arranged at 0.5 metre interval.

3-The remaining wire is used to create the mesh at

0.5 metre interval (refer diagram 2 above).

1-The free end of wire is wrapped around a post (refer diagram 1 above).

2-Crossover itself and wrapped around the post again.

3-The working end is slipped under last wrap. Then, it is tightly pulled.

The use of wire mesh

Unlike the wires which are currently installed on the playground, we decided to use a

wire mesh which is 2" x 2" grid wire basket system which would provide more stability

and strength as the plants grow. If the wire mesh is not strong or stable enough, the

growing of plant could result in some parts of the plant falling off to the ground. This

might cause difficulties for children and the people at Agathians as it would need to be

cleaned. By installing the wire mesh, we certainly hope to prevent this issue.

+B. Make some furniture. (For issue B)

We decided to make an office table for the staffs so that they can store important

documents. In addition we came up with the idea a making a trophy display cabinet that

will be place in the leaving room. The main idea behind is to expose the children talent

and achievement to the visitors.

Purpose: To serve as a storage area for files and important documents and also the

table top serves as a platform for installing printers.

Material: Recycled wood planks, galvanized steel hinges, L-support made out of

galvanized steel, plastic for wire clearance area, rubber bands/strips for prevention of

scratching.

FURNITURE 1: L-Shape

Site Analysis:

The table will be used in the room next to the office

for storage of files and documents. The room is

usually used by the staff mainly but sometimes used

by few students to use printers.

When it comes to designing a good cabinet, there are many design options that offer an

attractive and efficient. One of the most effective plan is the L-shaped cabinet. As the

name implies, it calls for an L-shaped setup, cabinets installed on two perpendicular

walls and an open area in the center. This style of cabinet offers many advantages over

other designs, so it may be worth considering if we need an amazing suitable design for a

small area.

This kind of design gives us an open area in the center that can be used for many other

activities or stuffs, also regarding to the floor plan of the house, this design was the best

choice that we could come up with. Hence we designed an L-shaped cabinet, which has

enough space as well.

+Life Cycle of rubber coated garden wire :35

Wire is made in factory

and sold at hardware shops

Used for many functions

Rain water and constant sunlight

will cause the rubber

coating to ware out

Once the rubber coating

wares out , wire will start to rust

The garden wire will eventually

be replaced and sent

to recycling centres

Rubber Garden Coated Wire impact to the environment

The rubber coated garden

wire is used as a structure

for the plant to coil around it

After many years in use ,

the rubber coat starts to

decompose due to heat and rain

The rubber coat will break

up into small pieces

and fall to the groun

The decomposing rubber has

no negative impact

to the environment

analysis of expected lifespan and usage in the same time thus impacts on the

environment e.g. pollution, effect, etc.

All analysis of data of materials are listed and to ensure our materials are environmental

friendly to avoid excessive pollution and dumping of waste into the wilderness.

Other than that, this also listed the terms of durability and reliability of each material

used during its lifespan.

Metal screws are mostly

recycled to make new screws.

EFFECTS TO ENVIRONMENT

WOODEN PALLET PLANKS

Wooden pallet planks doesn’t affect the environment badly as it’s a composite material.

As the wooden planks are unused, these planks are meant to be decay into the

environment slowly. Most of these will last around 7 years in the open wilderness.

RECYCLED 9MM WOOD PANELS

This materials has similar effect as the wooden pallet planks as this is another

composite materials. Most of these will decay into the open wilderness if abandoned

for 7 years. Other than that, this can be recycled and reused over and over again to

reduce dumping of wooden panels.

NAILS

Due to prone of corrosion, metal nails can easily rust and damage within only less than

a week time. When the nails are thrown into the environment it does give some

negative impact such as toxins from the rust. These can be mostly seen thrown aside

because only certain nails can be recycled and reuse.

continuous participation in carefully prepared service that is operated and satisfy

the prerequisites of the public. This type of learning laid emphasis on critical

thinking and personal thought while inspiring an enhanced sense of community,

civic assignation, and responsibility. Service learning is a course that must

maintain equilibrium between traditional learning and real life serving

experience for it to be successful. Our team have taken ideas and methodologies

from our lectures and implemented them in real-life problem solving

circumstances. However, we did not spend our money in the assignment and its

+Our objective was to search for resources and sponsors for our assignment. We came to know

later on that the task was not as simple as mentioned in the handout. Interacting with other people,

whom we have encountered in the past, we managed to be in the community and experience it.

Through the assignment, we came to know how strangers had noted our determinations and even

supported our work. We were achieving a project that concerned a bigger community, and due to

the fact that we established something that might be encountered by people other than ourselves

was a very pleased moment. Furthermore, our experience was discomfiting. Our group has to

agree that we come from a fortunate background. Yet, this will not prevent us to work very hard.

We did a vast range of tasks, from making furniture out of reused materials to creating a roof and

planting. We are mature enough to realize the amount of hard work it needs to perform certain

tasks and also learnt to adhere with the community that carry it everyday. In the past, some among

us have never tried simple gardening, or carpenter. This was an occasion to learn something new,

and everyone in the group shared with each other what they already know. During the few weeks

of work, as a group of friends we have also get to know each of us better, and learn to share. We

have come across several times of the term “environmental issues” that are afflicting our society,

and after conducting this assignment, we know that these problems are critical ones, and they are

occurring all around us at any given time. Conflicts such as pollution, depletion of resources and

also social issues such as lack of appropriate shelter are accumulating everyday. Even it can be

easy to presume that we are able to get away from these issues and its consequences. We think

that it is the duty of the whole community to comprehend these troubles and overcome them. As a

team, we have placed one step forward in decreasing and later eliminating these situations. “My

community, my commitment” must have been as a movement, instead of just an assignment and

to look for issues, that we can change and have the capacity to deal with it.
