Third report : group Lembu

The module: the present, past and future

This module required them to talk and describe about their past, present and future event and experiences. They can describe anything about it whether they like or dislike it. For instance, what they do not like in the past, some of them drawn a picture of cigarette. Perhaps in the past they were punished because of that thing. Moreover, regarding to the future, some of them has drawn a pictures of family members. They said that they want to be with their family and live peacefully.  We can see their abilities and ideas about themselves. What has happened and what will happen or thing that they want to.

The module: Stars of goals

This module rquired them to identify what is their goals in the future. they were given a paper and advise to write about their goals. At first, most of them take some time to think about the goals. After that, they able to write and realize what they want in their life. Moreover, they have abilities to think about thier future and decide what they want to do. some of them were disussed each others and they were happy to think about thier future and goals. Alhamdulillah..

3rd Report (group KaMbing)

Date: 13/2/2011

It was our last session..

Comments for BOX OF the PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE module:

The participants were given a piece of paper which contained boxes for them to write down their experiences, achievements or anything in the past and present and also their expectations for the future. They took quite some time to start their task. They looked confused and not so confident with what they want to write. But, after they received some assist from the facilitator, they were able to do it by themselves. They were aware with their past and present experiences and achievement; however they were still in doubt about the future. Therefore, the adolescents need someone to guide them to achieve a good future.

Comments for STAR OF GOALS module:

This activity mainly tried to help the adolescents to clarify their goals and identify the factors that could lead to them to achieve their goals. The participants were given a paper with five stars on it. Then, they were asked to write down their goals in each star. Some of them did not have problem at all in writing the goals because they have sets of goal in their mind. They were willing to share their goals with the others. However, some of the participants still needed to be guided. Overall they were doing well and became better than before.

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.

Module: Al Kisah

Participants reported that this is the most interesting games that they enjoy to do. In this game, they need to organize and recognize people based on the characteristics that read to them by the facilitator. In categorizing people with certain characteristics, this group did a good job where they were able to recognize logically. However, when facilitator asked the reason why they characterized those characters in the stories with those kinds of characteristics. They failed to provide good and satisfied answer. Maybe they still cannot think logically and bounded with abstract thinking.

Unfortunately..we couldn't complete this module due to poor time management from the group members.

First Report

First report (group: KaMbiNG)
Date: 08/01/2011
Time : 10am-1pm
Venue : RNQ
Alhamdulillah..Last Saturday we have started our program with adolescent at RNQ. Our visit was welcomed by the residents of the house. They approached us with friendly and happy face.
After having some taaruf, the participants were divided into four groups which consist of five members in each group. The groups were distributed based on animal’s names which are Lembu, Kambing, Ayam and Katak. I have facilitated Kambing’s group.
As a facilitator and an observer for this group, I have put some expectation on them. I hope that they can give full cooperation and commitment throughout the session. I also hope they are able to gain something from the activities and finally achieve the goals set for this program.
Comments for ROUND ROBIN module:
After the participants were grouped, assigned facilitator started to make ice-breaking with the group members. The participants were interviewed a little bit about their background information. However, some of them showed negative responses and seemed reluctant to share about their selves maybe due to confidentiality. It was not an easy task to build and gain trust from someone that you just met. Therefore, it was the facilitators’ task to build rapport among the group members. The participants were asked to draw three things that they like and dislike. After finishing with the drawing, each participant presented his/her drawings and the reasons why they choose those pictures. From that drawing, we could infer something about their inner thoughts, dreams, and interests and so on. At the end of ice-breaking session suddenly one of the members was crying because it was his birthday. He told us that he never celebrated his birthday and no one gives him present. We felt sorry for him because it was unexpected. If we knew it earlier, we could have prepared something for him. After that event, he did not want to participate anymore although we have coaxed him and give some counseling.

Comments for JOHARI WINDOW’s module:
In the second module, the participants were asked to write the perception towards their own selves and what others’ perception towards themselves. However, only a part of the members are really participates in the activity. Some of them uninterested to join, cannot stay sit, walking around and looking their friends from the other groups. It was very challenging to discipline adolescents. The members who participated showed difficulties in expressing their thoughts, lack of confident and took long time to finish the task. After they were done, we were discussing their result. We found that for the future, most participants wrote they did not know when they can go back to their own home. It was touching our heart. From the observation also, we found that even though they lack confident, they tried to share something about themselves.

Comments for WHO IS NURUL? Module:
The participants were asked to illustrate who is Nurul from their perspectives. However, we could not finish this module because the time constraint.

2nd report on Group AYAM..

When we arrived there for second meeting, they were interested to know what they activities that they could do.

First module: the crack car

This module required them to imagine a situation that needed them to make a decision on who is their friend that they need to choose in that situation and why. Most of them chose their friends and gave reasons why they made that decision. For instance, on of them said that he chose his friend because that friend was very close to him. Every of them can give reasons why they make their decision. Hence, they have ability to think and make consideration before make any decision.

Second module: AL-kisah

In this module, they are required to hear a story and understand it. This story consists of different roles and characters such as bad, good, generous, and others. All of them listen to the story quietly and carefully. After that, they were required to arrange the character and the roles starting from the good and lastly bad character and person. All of them can give the answer and arrange the character correctly. They were discussing among each others. Some have different opinion and some have same opinions. Hence, we can see that, their ways of thinking about something were improved. Their willingness to share and give opinions is improved. They have willingness to give opinions even their opinions were differ from their friends. 

1st report on Group AYAM..

We felt vey lucky and praise to God because giving us the opportunity to organize a program at the orphanage home. We hope that this opportunity will give benefit for the adolescent there and also us. After we arrived there, they welcome us and some of them smile at us and some are just keep quiet. Before started the program facilitators introduced themselves and asked them some questions. Our group is “group Ayam”. First of all, fasi introduced themselves and ask some questions like have they eaten or not, what did they do before we arrived and others. Our group consists of five members which are age between 12 to 17. At first, some of them are difficult to involve in conversation, ask questions and a little bit shy.  

First module: Round Robin

This module gives the opportunity for them to have more information about their friends and make their relationship closer. Most of them, gave good information about themselves.

Second module: Johari Window

This module required them to recall and think about themselves, for example, what they know about themselves that other people also know. What they know that other people do not know. This gave them opportunity to know who they are and share something that very interesting about themselves to others. They have ability and interest to complete the task. Some of them took long time to think and recall about the information that they should write. What we can see from this module is their ability and willingness to share something with their friends.

Third module: Who is Nurul?

This module gave them opportunity to express what they think about something. For instance, what come to their mind when the question of who is Nurul was asked. They described the people or thing that they think of by drawing the pictures. Most of them did this module in very good way and expression. Some of them think about family, teacher, nature and others.

Objective: Goals Settings and Wrap up Session

“Ha?? Today is our last session?”

            After two weeks been in Rumah D.Q, last week was the final one. For this session, it has been handled casually by the facilitators. This session started with first module named “Past, Present and Future”. The objective of this module was to allow the participants to identify their experience, achievements and expectations or anything in their past, present and future. The facilitator instructed the participants to fill the boxes of past, present and future about what they were in past, they are currently and they going to be in future. Initially, the participants seemed took little time to start the first word but after that, they looked confident in filling the boxes.

            Secondly, in order to make the participants became more aware and clear of their goals in this life module named “Star of Goals” was implemented. Every participant was given a piece of paper that constitutes five stars. They have been requested to write their goals in the stars; one goal for each star. Then the participants presented their goals together with their strategy in attaining those goals. This module was to help the participants to become goals oriented person and assist them in identifying the factors that could lead to the successful of the goals. Some of the participants looked positive when uttering their goals and some might need guidance in setting and realizing their goals. However, overall the participants more relaxed than before in expressing their views and opinion.
