Community Service Initiative

Community Service Initiative allows our group to have an online community services project in this pandemic period. We research on the NGO that required our help in this difficult time. On our initial idea, we planned to help our Zoo Negara as it stated in the newspaper saying that the Zoo Negara is lacking volunteer and customers result in most of the animals are now in threat of losing their home, but when we have a meeting call with them, they stated now they are in required of only physical help which is unable to achieve by us. Thus, we started to research again and we have finally found our beneficiary- Persatuan Rumah Caring Kajang Selangor.

After discussing with group members, we realise this Caring Home not only give shelters to old folks and single mothers but also providing emotionally and spiritually support through counselling as many often try to attempt suicide when they are faced with a bleak future. This sparks us to lend them a helping hand eagerly with our minimal power which is doing craft for a fundraising event! I was involved to contact our beneficiary to get their approval and also have a discussion with them of our proposal to ensure our proposal is able to convey the message they wanted to spread. I was very shocked that they actually required a very high cost to support the home monthly which let me and my members have an aim to spread this news in order to attract more people to involve in the future.

Then, all after the planning of the proposal, we start off working with a separate task. I was involved in the start-up of our Instagram page and making clay crafts. We first promote sneak peek to evolve the interest of people. Then moving on to posting introduction and facts of our beneficiary to ensure the people that visited our page realise the issues and challenges they are having. One challenge we found out during our execution is that many of the other groups are also promoting their NGO at the same time and mostly we are promoting to the same batch of people which might cause the loss of customers due to diverging of attention. Thus, we came out the solution of having collaboration with other teams and also help them in donation and promotion in return they also contributing to our fundraising event.

Also to evoke more interest of people, we make use of our project submission as an advertisement to post on our Instagram page. I involve in video editing thus, suggesting including the recently popular 'game' content into or video so people could view our page with ease at the same time understanding our aim. To conclude, this project indeed should not stop here even our semester is almost reaching the end, I shall continue to manage this page with my members, hoping more people could see and inspired by us to lend a helping hand to those in need, creating a caring and loving world.
