Assignment 1

Community Services

We are assigned to perform a community service in group as part of their assignment for Moral Education.In this assignment we are able to approach our desired home or centre and get the management approval to perform the community services.We are also required to Collect university approval letter from lecturer.

The assignments are divided into three parts,which are journal/ diary keeping , community services and report.Journals is actually a log book where the students are required to keep a diary on their discussion and activities starting from the day they form the group till one day before submitting the report. This should be done individually.

For the second part,community service, students are required to spend five hours doing community service in the selected centers. This can be done on weekends or week days (minimum one visit) according to student’s convenience. Students are to discuss with the manager of the centre / home to decide on this. Students are strictly advised not to skip other classes in order to complete their community service’s visitation.

  Finally student are require to prepare a report on their visits to the home / centre. The report should contain a write up on their activities, share their feelings and opinions (in conclusion) and attach some photographs. An evaluation form should be filled up by the manager of the centre and should be attached in the report. The report should be done as Group Work  Students are allowed to use their creativity in creating the report (scrap book etc).

            In conclusion,throughout this whole community services we have actually gained a lot of moral values.Without visiting orphanage, we don’t even know how blissful we are. These are the followings moral values we have gained through this orphanage visit.

As the saying goes, “sharing is caring” .All the children in the orphanage truly show out 

what is the real meaning of caring is sharing. When we are distributing gifts, the children who 

got the gifts actually pass it to their friends first instead of having it themselves. In real life, 

people are so selfish and inconsiderate. They keep whatever good things they have without 

sharing to the others.

          Besides that, moral values such as respect each other is also very important in real life. 

The children are sitting down quietly on the floor and listening to us when we try to give some 

instructions or lecture. They are all well-behaved and polite. However, in real life, a lot of 

people who never respect each other will always create problem cause they never others’ 

opinion. Always remember, only when you respect others, others will respect you.

As a volunteer, we have to be patient towards those children. Every child has different

personality. During the orphanage visit, we actually managed to develop our patience when 

teaching and playing games with the children. We teach them one by one and try to solve 

problem for each children, just to make sure everyone of them felt loved.

          As we know, tolerance leads to development and to the consolidation of peace and 

democracy. Nowadays, we realize that there are a lot of violent fighting cases happening in 

school. The main reason which causes this happen is they do not tolerate each other. In the 

orphanage, all of the children living peacefully together without fight because they know how 

to tolerate each other. Children are encouraged to grow up from early on in an atmosphere of 

curiosity and open-mindless and learn about tolerance, human rights and other ways of life.

We also have to be compassionate towards other by trying our very best to help people. 

Example, we can always donate to some charity organization or visiting them and teaching the 

children free of charge. In the orphanage, there are some volunteers workers such as the 

guardian and drivers, all of them are very kind and helpful. We should learn from them and be 

helpful towards those that need help without expecting any repay. This is also one of the 

important moral values we have gained throughout the orphanage visit.
