Community service initiative is a compulsory module for all upper-level education students. My class for this term is conducted by Ms. Diana and Mr. Vickram and we would be joined by the diploma students. The aim for this semester is to help the homeless in Kuala Lumpur by providing them with self-care kits.
Through meticulous research, we concluded that the various NGOs in KL is already doing a fantastic job providing the homeless with sufficient amount of food daily. Instead the homeless lacked the tools needed to upkeep their hygiene. The idea is to collect funds and donations to acquire those tools for them in the next 7 weeks.
In order to make the tasks more manageable, we were divided into groups:
Group 1: To work closely with selected NGOs to identify the content of the kit
Group 2: Organise and run an aware campaign to raise funds
Group 3: Find sponsorship for the content of the kit
Group 4: Branding and packaging of the kit
Group 5: Packing and distribution of the kit
I have decided to join Group 4 to manage the branding and packaging of the self-care kit because I wanted to learn more about the process and brush up my graphic skills. After a quick group discussion, we came up with a timeline and the task to be completed by our next meeting, which is to design the logo of our brand.
