1 JUN 2019: First Execution Day. (7 HOURS)
We depart from Taylor University at 10 AM and arrived there almost 11 AM. At the site, we started by cleaning the exterior by removing the dirt from the wall by using a broom and wash later on with water, swept the floors the surrounding the building and others. When the wall is clean, we applied a coating to the wall. The painting of the wall will be done by other exterior group 2 member in the next trip.
22 JUN 2019: SECOND EXECUTION DAY AND LAUNCHING DAY (2 HOURS)
On the lunch day of the newly renovated kindergarten, me and other 2 members are chosen to go to the site again because the place still needs to be clean. We tried to remove the paint on the concrete floor but were unsuccessful because we don't have the right solution to remove it. In the end, we just clean up the drain and swept the floor. We decided to wait until the lunch time which is at 2 PM instead of going home.
REFLECTION
In conclusion, I learnt a lot when doing my task there like coating the wall before painting and others. It gives me an experience that I will required in the future. None of this possible without all the members that help in doing this charity work because teamwork is important to achieved a common goal which I know is important when doing a project in the future as an interior architect. Other than that, I'm really glad that I was part of this charity work because I know the things that I have done at the kindergarten will help the children to be more comfortable to study there and make them smile.
