          This was the second time for weluvadol team been at Rumah D.Q. All of us were so excited to meet our brothers and sisters since the last time we met them was two weeks ago. For this session, we made it on Sunday noon as most of them were having tuition in the morning. We reached there at 12 noon immediately after they finished their tuition. Before started with the modules, our team helped the participants to prepare and serve for their lunch. Some of us helped to fry the eggs and some prepared for the drinks. After that, we ate together with them.
          After performing Solat Zuhr, they have been asked to assemble at the upstairs to start with the modules. It was not easy to gather them initially but eventually we managed to amass the participants. Before begin, one of the facilitator gave a short briefing to refresh their mind and to get them ready. As they have been in group, the facilitator started with the first module of that day which was ‘Me’. This module were to encourage the group members to share their opinion at the same time understand and respect other’s values that may differ from their values. The participants were asked to draw any object or image that was significant to their lives. Then the facilitator asked each of them to present their works followed by some inquiries such as why the thing is important to them. The participants took quite a long time to identify what was the thing. A few of them still referring to others to get an idea while some looked very serious and firm in expressing their views.
            Module ‘Al Kisah’ was meant to train and teach the participants to be firm with their values and beliefs and at the same time respects others for the belief they have. The facilitator read the text of Al Kisah clearly and after finished reading the text, the participants have been asked by the facilitator to arrange the character in the story from the best to worst and provide reasons why they said so based on their feelings, understanding and opinion. The discussion of this module led the participants to see things from many perspectives. For this module, participants paid more attention and looked interested to the story. Perhaps the facilitator creativity made it an attention-grabbing story. Well done faci!!!;-)
            Lastly, the module that generate the discussion about values and justice held close by the participants called ‘My Crack Car'. The facilitator told a situation that led the participants to decide the best solution of the problem by choosing only some of their group members on that matter. The participants then explain the reason why they did so. Since this quite easy to be understand by the participants, they only took few minutes to finish the activity.
            Before end up the session, a simple and short Q and A session were held in order to test their understanding. All of them, participate a lot and compete among each other to answer since 'reward' was waiting for them.;-)On the whole, we can see that the participants were now became more focus and behaved than before. They started to grasp the relevant of this program and collaborate with the facilitator to achieve the goals for each activity. We are looking forward to observe the participants' positive changes and grow in the next session. A journey to create a hero -
