6) Presentation of Our Project Proposal

-

For this week, my classmates and I had to present our project proposal to Sir Ali. My group, which is group 7, decided to center our project around Zero Hunger (Goal 2). We opt for a free breakfast programme where we could aid financially struggling students and spread awareness about the importance of having a well balanced diet. It was quite nerve wracking, as any presentation are, especially since other groups had such creative and brilliant ideas and plans to conduct. Thankfully, Sir Ali gave us the greenlight to proceed with our project and also gave us a few constructive criticism as well as advices on how we could successfully pull off said project. There are a few small errors in our group's written proposal too, but it was minor and we resubmitted it a few days later on I'Taleem.

Throughout the class session, I learned many ways that we could contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. One proposal that stood out to me was about conducting a programme at a nearby kindergarten. The group plans to teach kids on how to create piggy banks from recycled items and simultaneously educate them about the importance of saving money, thus achieving three goals at the same time: No Poverty (Goal 1), Quality Education (Goal 4), and Responsible Consumption and Production (Goal 12).

Overall, today's class has been very refreshing to say the least. Watching my classmates present such amazing ideas and projects was a reminder that you could find steps to achieve sustainability while being creative and having fun.

8) Understanding Sejahtera

Today in class, I learned about a concept called Sejahtera, and it really stuck with me. At first, I thought it just meant well-being, but it turned out to be so much more. Sejahtera is about finding balance and harmony in all areas of life—physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental. This idea really resonated with me, especially when I saw how it connects with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Unlike most traditional definitions of well-being, which pivot around money or success, Sejahtera encompasses spiritual, emotional, and social parts combined to bring about a holistic life. The similarities between Sejahtera and the SDGs were clear. The SDGs support a holistic way of development, seeking to address big problems such as poverty, inequality, and harm to the environment. Sejahtera augments this by nurturing well-being not only for the world or communities but also for every individual. For instance, SDG 3 focuses on ensuring that everybody gets to live health...

13) Final Presentation

In our last class, each group were to present their findings and the result that came from their respective initiatives. I was really nervous as my group were the first to present, though thankfully it went smoothly. We presented some of the results and feedbacks we received from students and how our SDG project, "Bright Start: Fueling Minds, Fighting Hunger," was an amazing experience that really showed me how much of a difference small efforts can make in our community. We talked about things from the planning, to the fund allocations and even the roles that each members in our group held. Looking back, despite its small scale, the project made a significant difference by helping students who might have otherwise gone without breakfast due to financial issues. Although we faced some challenges, such as needing better communication tools and ensuring meal inclusivity, we gained important insights that will help us make future projects even better. After presenting, Sir Ali e...

9) Group Project [Part 1]

For the project assignment, my group, Group 7, decided to split our initiative into two different days. During the first half of the project, our group of five classmates met at KSTCL’s café to give out free sandwiches as part of our plan to help with SDG 2: Zero Hunger. Thanks to some generous donations, we made a bunch of sandwiches like chocolate banana, chocolate cereal, and even savoury option like egg mayo. I remembered being both excited and nervous while setting up the table, hoping people would like the food that were offered. I’m not much of a social person, so it was intimidating to approach people at first, but I got the hang of it quite easily. Since it was early in the morning, students who just came to KSTCL approached to our table, curious about the free food. At first, they were hesitant, but once they tried the sandwiches, they really liked them. The feedback was super positive, and many students thanked our group for the delicious treat. It felt great to see them enj...
