“MY COMMUNITY MY COMMITMENT” Project Proposal

Environmental community service is a type of service in which the public reach

out towards environmental-community-based organizations such as social-service

organizations, non-profit organizations and faith-based organizations. It is one of the

many ways for people to contribute back to the society while taking into concern, the

environmental issues as well.

Paying It Forward is a project that brings the aim to further develop students’

community and team-working skills. These skills are crucial in developing the students’

good professional design practice in the future. As an active member of the community,

students are encouraged to deepen their understanding towards their environment and

realize their responsibility towards it. By identifying community related issues around

them, students are required to come up with solutions using the most of their creativity

which may be of tremendous help in solving real-world challenges in the future.

ranging from kindergarten to primary 5. Occasionally, a volunteer would come over

to teach the students as there is one teacher short.

The education center is located in a low cost flat with poor conditions. Attention

and awareness has to be raised from the authority to really look into their

environmental issues.

The refugees are victims forced to leave their own country due to some

unforeseen reasons and stay in a foreign country for an unknown period of time. Most of

them do not have citizenships and even rights to study.

We believe that every human has equal rights and there is no reason that we

should treat someone badly because there are not Malaysians. Hence, as a bunch of

young architectural students, our aim is to make positive CHANGES to their

environment by applying what we have learnt. We wish to make them feel like they are

home, a better place to live and study even in foreign country.

In this chapter, we are going to show the environmental and community issues

faced by our case study and our site visits to the center.

We had our very first site visit of our case study on 22th September 2014. The

aim of the visit was to find out the environment or community issues faced by the case

study meanwhile engage to the community.

CCEC (Chin Children's Education Centre) situated in Sungai Besi is a school of

Refugees. Their school is located underneath an apartment that most of the foreign

workers. Therefore, there is limited and compact space within that area. Upon reaching

the apartment, we started to record our observation. The hygienic quality was pretty bad

and the unpleasant smell of rubbish filled up the atmosphere.

We carefully made our way to the school, which is situated at the ground floor

inside the apartment. Despite of the dark and uncomfortable surroundings, we were

immediately welcomed by a bunch of cute little kids at the entrance of the school.

After a few rounds of observations and discussion with the principal of the school

Mr.Joseph, we have noticed some key environment issues and condition of the school.

I. The bookshelves in the reading zone were insufficient to store all the books

and the reading materials were arranged loosely due to their different sizes.

There were few more boxes of stationaries were on the ground.

Beside, files that kept records of the children

information are normally bigger than the

dimension of the bookshelves. Hence, the

files in the principal room were randomly arranged without a special

cabinet.

II. Flooring. The cement casted flooring of the school was uneven and has

several holes that will cause the students to trip and fall easily. The problem

also make hard for the students to move the partitions when they change

classes.

III. Kitchen Area. The kitchen shelves for the storage of plates, cups, cooking

utensils and etc were in a broken and poor condition.

ISSUES

Page 16: Esd final report final

Brooms and cleaning materials were placed randomly on the floor without a

proper cabinet.

IV. The entrance of the school is empty and lack of furniture although there is a

big open space. Children found a lack of benches to sit while waiting for their

parents or to rest.

1. Light Truck Tires

A tyre is a ring-shaped vehicle component that covers the wheel’s rim on vehicles or

other type of transportation (bicycle) to form a soft contact with the road. The

component normally made from rubber, typically inflated or surrounding an inflated inner

tube.

resistance of the tire, which needs to be overcome when the car is in motion. This

consumes energy.

The acquisition of raw materials accounts for approximately 5% of the environmental

impact. Impact attributable to the manufacturing process is even lower. Transportation

between the different life cycle phases amounts to no more than 2% of total

environmental impact during the product’s life cycle.

2. Paint

Paint is a colored substance which is spread over a surface and dries to leave a thin

decorative or protective coating. The ingredients of paint normally consist of

additives, binder, pigment, filler and water. The ratio of amount is based on the

quality of the product.

production would require the same number and type of packaging. It was also reasoned

that environmental impacts of distribution would be the same for the new virgin paints

as well as for the recycled paint. This is because the company has the same client base.

So, the impact would be the same if the company is to manufacture and/or distribute the

same amount of new virgin paints that they are recycling. Furthermore, it was assumed

that no other ingredient is added to the old paint materials in producing the recycled

paint.

production lines, the input to the units and the pollution sources. Work place pollution

parameters are VOCS, particulates, and noise. Spills or leaks could occur through the

whole process, and may contaminate the water if discharged to the sewer. Chemicals

empty containers are generated, and considered hazardous. Those hazardous solid

wastes should be safely disposed into a landfill.

With the purpose of raising funds and also getting the public’s attention towards the

refugee, we decided to search for bakeries which are willing to provide us with breads

and pastries to be sold out to the public. We approached Free Mori Bakery and they

were willing to cooperate with us to give a helping hand to the children of the refugee

center

They provided us with a variety of pastries for example The Bun Family which consists

of

Raisin Buns and Chocolate-filled Buns

Butter-glazed Buns

Marble Milk Buns

Polo buns

Mille Danish and

even small packets of Chocolate Chip Cookies.

After obtaining and packing the stocks on a Tuesday morning, we divided

ourselves into small groups and went to different places to sell the pastries. The places

that we went to were Taylor’s College, Inti College, area around SS15, Sunway

University and of course, our very own Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. While

selling the breads, we also asked for donations from the public while showing them

information flyers about this education center. This fund-raising sale went on for two

days and we collected a total amount of RM1320.75. Please refer to page 50 for more

detailed financial report.

I. DESIGNING PHASE

We started planning and designing the bookshelves first as it was our main priority for

the children. The books are not organized and are kept in the shabby bookshelves in a

messy orientation as the sizes of the shelves are not big enough to fit all of the books.

Initially we decided to design the bookshelves in the shape of a cruciform to

accommodate different sizes of books and also light up the place aesthetically.

After visiting the education center a few more times we realize that the initial idea

is not practical as the books are too many and the cruciform bookshelves do not provide

enough space for them. We came up with the second idea which is to use wooden

planks and build an extra wooden shelve on a wall in the classroom.

Initial draft of the design of the bookshelves

Other than the bookshelves, we also designed some benches for the children to sit on

outside of the education center. We used wooden planks as the material to make the

bench and also rubber tyres to elevate the bench from the ground.

The last furniture that we designed was the broom holders. We came up with the idea of

using wooden planks as the base to drill the hooks to hold the brooms and dustpans. To

secure it to the wall, rubber tubes were used to tie the wooden plank to the hook on the

wall. Latches were also installed to further secure the broom holder.

II. PREPARING PHASE – MATERIAL SEARCHING

In order to build the bookshelves, benches and broom holder, we needed wooden

pallets as our main building material. Luck was in our hands when we successfully

obtained the sponsorship for these wooden pallets from a recycling center in Bukit

Beruntung.

We went to the wooden pallets factory which is situated at Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor to get the

sponsored materials for our bookshelves.

A week after obtaining the wooden planks, we started planning and building the

bookshelves and the benches. We booked the campus’s workshop which has all the

facilities that we needed to make the furniture. Mr.Ooi contributed a lot by assisting us

with the carpentry work and also by teaching us how to use the various machines in the

workshop. It took us 3 days to finish all of the carpentry work which included sawing,

sanding and also shellac works.

III. TRANSPORTING PHASE

After completing the carpentry work, we booked a day with the principle of the education

center to go set up the furnitures. Early in the morning on that day, 4 of our members,

Preston Liew, Lee Jo Yee, Woo Wen Jian and Yuan Kai Shien drove their cars to help

with the transportation of our materials to the education centre. First, we set off to

Nicolas Wong’s house to collect the tyres for the benches which are temporarily kept

there.

IV. INSTALLING PHASE

After loading all the wood into the car, we set off to the education center to start our

work. We started unloading the wood and tyres to the main entrance of the education

center where an open space is located. We set up the bookshelves first by fitting the

slots into the frame of the shelf and then fastening them with hammer and nails. After

the bookshelf was set up, we moved it into the classroom and secured it to the wall.

tyres were hard to drill in. We successfully set up both benches by the entrance in

the end.

The floor of the education center is damaged with many holes in it which might cause

the children to fall when they run around. In order to fix this problem, we have decided

to buy cement to fill up the holes in the floor. We used the money raised from the selling

of breads to buy the cement. Two of our members, Yuan Kai Shien and Benny Tan

went to transport the stocks of cement from the factory to the education center to be

applied onto the floor.

However, the kind people from the education center volunteered to help with the cement

work. After the cement work was completed, the floor is smoother and flatter, creating a

safer environment for the children to study in.

We have taken efforts in this project. However, it would not have been possible

without the kind support and help of many individuals and communities. We would like

to express our deepest appreciation to all those who provided us the possibility to

complete this project.

Special thanks of gratitude we give to the lecturer, Mrs Salvi whose contribution

in stimulating suggestions and encouragement helped us to coordinate the project

especially in writing this report. Furthermore, many thanks go to the colleagues who

helped a lot in each other to finalize this project within a limited time frame.

We have had the opportunity to do this community service helping the refugees

for the last several weeks. We had never really done this kind of service before, so we

knew that this was our opportunity to do some community service to help others. We

have found through the experience that we really like to do this project, because in the

near future we will probably volunteer on our own, rather than doing it for a class.

Doing service projects is a great way to get involved with the community. There are

always people and businesses looking for help, and it is usually easy to find a way to

help. When we had to do volunteer services for the refugees, we were excited because

we had never really volunteered for a long period of time. It was very interesting,

because it actually made us feel like a better person for helping someone in the

community.

Moreover, we learnt new problem solving skill where we apply in the refugee school

in order to improve their learning environment. Those children are so kind and talented.

They deserve a better place to study. We, a group of passionate architecture students

have found the right time to pay back to the community. We apply our knowledge in

analysis and then design workable furniture to improve their quality of life. I learnt that it

is important to observe surrounding before come out with a design. The design will be

more relevant to the site if you know exactly what the site’s condition is and also what

the user's needs.

Furthermore, we have learnt that this is a project that brings the aim to further

develop students’ community and team-working skills. These skills are crucial in

developing the students’ good professional design practice in the future. As an active

member of the community, students are inspirited to deepen their construal towards

their environment and realize their responsibility towards it. By identifying community

cognate issues around them, students are required to come up with solutions utilizing

the most of their ingeniousness which may be of tremendous avail in solving authentic-

world challenges in the future.

Overall, we feel that doing this project only better ourselves, and it helps others. It is a

great way to support a community as well as meet new people, and to help out others.

We feel that everyone should do more community services, and for something that they

are passionate about. We were glad we got the chance to do this project, because we

feel better about ourselves knowing that we helped others, and we look forward to many

more opportunities like this.
