2nd Report (group KaMbing)

Date: 23/1/2011

Venue: RNQ

W e arrived a bit early to RNQ. While waiting for the resident of the house to come back from tuition class, we were preparing food for them. After they had their lunch and performed Zuhur prayer, we began the session.

Comments for ALKISAH module:

The participants have been given a story where a poor man (Mamat) who likes to gamble tries to save his beloved wife, Melor. The name of the characters in the story have been changed to make the story more interesting. The participants were asked to list down the characters in the story from the most good to the bad one. Throughout the story telling session, the participants gave their full attention to the story as well as to the facilitator’s instruction. This was a positive change that we can see from the participants compared to the session before. After the story has finished, the participants listed down their possible answers. Every participant was asked to present their answers. They showed active participation and volunteer to give their answer without being pointed by the facilitator. This activity was conducted to see how the participants judge people. Each participant gave different reasons why they chose their answer. It can be seen that adolescents already have the ability to differentiate between good and bad.

Comments for THE CRACK CAR module:

For the next activity, the participants were given a situation where they had to imagine that they were driving a cracked car in a heavy rain. They want to give ride to their friends, but, because of the condition of the car they only can give ride for two persons. The task was, they have to choose who are the two friends that they want to help and what are the reasons. This activity was done to see whether the participants can make firm decision or not and how they solve the problem. After giving some times, they came out with various answers. Most of them choose their best friends and siblings. When we asked how to do with the rest of their friends, they gave very creative solutions. One of the answer was they will turn back and fetch the others after send the two person home. Another solution, they give rain coat to their friends and pull them by using skateboard. It sounded funny but at least they try their best to help all their friends. From this activity, we can see that the participants have the ability to make decision based on some consideration and were able to involve in problem solving processes.
