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 enjoy the food we had made with care. We could see the joy and appreciation in their eyes, and that made all our efforts worthwhile. The project wasn’t easy, though. Balancing other assignments and the project was tough. I had to get up early and stay up late to make sure everything went well. Even though we were tired, knowing we were making even the smallest difference kept me going. One special moment was when a senior came up to me and said that the sandwiches had really helped her out because she often struggled to afford meals. Her gratitude reminded me why we were doing this. Her words were so touching and gave us the extra motivation to keep going, despite the challenges we faced.


Our event was only held around one to two hours before all of the sandwiches were gone. We divided the work among ourselves, with some of us focusing on making the sandwiches while others handled the distribution. This teamwork made everything run more smoothly. By the end of the morning, I felt proud of what my group had accomplished. We had given sandwiches to around 30-40 students and made a positive impact on our school community. This experience showed me the issue of food insecurity on campus and the power of working together. I am excited to keep going with our efforts in the upcoming week.

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...

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...
