29/ 5 /2016, we had our biggest program that is
‘A Day With Special Children’ that was held in Kirtash Handicapped Center, Rawang, Selangor.
It was a memorable day for all of us especially me
as this is my first community service project out of IIUM in my university
life. I was very nervous that time as I have never approach a disable kid.
So, in the morning, all of us gathered at IIUM main staircase at 8
am. We had our breakfast there and
started our journey at 8.45 am. It took us around 45 minutes to reach the place
without facing any traffic jam. When we reach there, I can see how excited the
kids was, as they quickly run to the gate to welcome us. They are so innocent.
We were given a brief explanation about this center and their operation.
Unluckily, the center was recently caught on fire and half of the building were
damaged and burnt. Luckily there is no
life infected.
After seeing the condition and the place and also after listening
to the briefing, we decided to change our plan from approaching the children to
cleaning up the burnt area and packaging all the aids given by people. We were
brought into another part of the house to package around 3 big huge canopy full
with items given by others. We were ordered to separate the items and put them
in boxes and label them. These items were mostly sports tools and equipment and
these items were given by a company to be sell by the owner of the place to
raise fund for the kids.
We managed to clean most of the place. I love to see
all my classmates work in a team. We did things together, and laughed and
enjoyed each other. We also prepared lunchbox for the kids and also donated
groceries. The owner really thanked us very much and he also welcomed us to
visit that place again. We back to IIUM at 12.15 happily and also tired. It was
a very great trip and I wish to have a visit to that place again.
p/s: everyone, right now this house really in need of your help..they were give a lot of sport tools and equipment to be sell to raise fund, but they do not know where to sell them all. they have boxes of dumbbells, swimming paddles, knee pads and so on..you can visit their facebook page to get more info.
