Fathimah Fakhrunnisa Opinion: 3rd day of Service Learning Program: Art Class, Sharing, Feeding Program, and Gift Giving

Our last day of service learning program is one of the best day I've ever had in my life. Why? Because I did learn a lot of new things from that day. At our 3rd day of service learning program, we had an art class that we asked the kids to draw who they want to be when they grow up. We also helped the kids on drawing and looking for the idea. Surprisingly, some kids already decided what they want to be. I found some kids want to be police, miss universe, doctor, and pilot. By this activity, I learned that even though some of the kids are coming from the bad economic condition family, but they still have their own dreams. So why do we as someone who has a good condition not dreaming a lot also?

After it, we also asked the kids to share about their drawing. Some of them has a very nice yet cute stories why they choose what they draw. Listened to their story make me and my group mate can't stop smiling and becoming more happy to hear them. Then we also continued it with feeding program. At first, we were planning to buy something from a common fast food restaurants cause kids usually love that, but the athe told us that it will be better to feeding them with the food that they cook because they already take care of the nutrition. I was feeling so amazed at that time. I realized that Bukas Palad is a kind of a very caring organization, and I also feel honoured that I can have my social activities here.

We ended our activities with giving the gift to the kids. Even its actually not a very big gift, but I can see that the kids was very happy. It touched me a lot that even the small things that we do could be other people happiness.

It was sad that I just have one term here so I can't visit them again later. It was a very fun experience for me to do social activities like this. I'm very admired Ms. Castillo, our professor because she gave us the task to do this social activities. :) I have never found this kind of activity be a part of subject when its actually a very nice activities to do. And the conclusion is that I learned a lot from doing this service learning program.
