Hey fans,
It is a pleasure to share our experiences and we hope that through these sharing, we can convey at least some lessons and insignt we have gained from working on the MIRACLE project's workshop. As the saying goes " Sharing is caring " right ??
On Tuesday, 11 January of 2011 , we have worked for our first workshop at the Rumah Shalom at Puchong,Selangor which actually was a shelter home which vision is to provide these unfortunate children love, care, moral, spiritual value and education in a family environment.
This is our first workshop and when we started the workshop we realized how the audience was paying attention to what we were going to share with them. Even if at first sight those boys and girls between 14 and 17 years old were a little bit shy but after a few ice breaking activities,and we have prepared some presentation to make sure that they are aware of the current serious pollution in Malaysia and they were ready to express their own views about environmental issues.
We really enjoy the discussion because we can have more interaction with them and guide them to think in the right direction.
We feel proud of them when we saw them presenting in front of us, since we know they have learn the knowledge from us and we have reached our objectives.
At the end of the session, we separated the group between boys and girls in order to share some information and pictures about our countries.
We could see how interested they were because of asking us a lot of questions. I also had the idea to make them listen to a famous Belgian hip-hop singer.
We would say that this first workshop was a real success. From the moment we enter the home and the moment we leave it, we’re not the same person because we know that we did something we believe in and for the contribution of others. The moment that impressed us is that when we had to say goodbye to them and they came to you one by one to thank you for having visiting them.
