As community service initiative if one of our UCM this semester,
we, as an degree pursuer are obliged to take this course.

 Our mission of this time is to renovate and repair one library located in an orang asli's kampung at Serendah, Selangor.




It's always good to give back to the society as we have the responsibility to take care of the minority as well.


Below are some photos of the library where we are going carry out our task.
Here is the main entrance of the library, which is in disrepair in the photo and it's definitely needs to be renovated for a better environment for studying.

The dimension of this library is 108000(W) x 7300(D) x 3500(H) mm.









The exterior needed to be clean up as well.





I ended up in Group 3 which is in-charged of the interior wall painting and designing, as well as repairing the doors and windows.

 After this class, we are ought to come out with the idea of designing the interior wall and present it on 26 April.

Looking forward to start this project soon!

As we knew the project we are going to carry out, there're lots need to discuss and decide. Group 3 contains of 30 people and it's definitely a huge group and it can be quite challenging to manage. We were further divided into 3 groups which are wall, flooring, window&door team. And I am in the team who will be designing the wall . As the study room is meant for children, thus the design of the wall is crucial as it set the tone and ambience of the library. If we are successful in making the library a pleasant and attractive place to be, it will help in attracting them in coming to the library to study and learn. Below are some options decided by our team leaders and needed to be voted by all of the classmates as the design of interior and exterior need to complement each other as well. Option 1: Catus and animals Option 2: Underwater world Option 3: The star and planets Our task is to co-ordinate with g...

After arriving at Taylor's University, we started to load the car with the necessities and books which we had collected for the library. On our way to Serendah, we were caught in a heavy traffic jam due to the accidents on the road and finally we reached there around 11!(and we were supposed to be there at 1000, so we were late obviously ) Without further saying, we just get straight to work. I, of course, to help them to paint the base coat. The job is easy, but without the ladder, the top part can barely be reached so we need to borrow the ladder from the team which is in charged of the exterior. The other teams are team of doors and windows and the exterior painting teams, we all worked at the same time as the clock was ticking fast! When the base coat was almost done, it's lunch time and we were all starving and decided to eat so we can work harder after that. Here came the interesting part and the highlight of the library, the mural painting! Ou...

After understanding the flow of the whole project, we proceed to execute the assigned task. As our main job is to refurbish the library, the books and stationary are necessary for the children to study and learn with the correct tools and book. Thus, we decided to use the power of internet to spread the news that we are going to refurbish the library in Sekeping Serendah. We uses platform like Instagram to voice out and hopefully we will get some positive responds. The team who in charged of publicity also set up an facebook page so we can keep everyone updated of our progress and also by using the power of internet to spread this news and do good deeds. Unfortunately,  after I posting in Facebook and Instagram, the respond is not as expected, so I decided to look into my house see if I got something useful when I back in JB (my hometown). And after searching I may call my result ok but not fruitful. Some colour paper for craft work.  Colourfu...
